Reviews
"Capital Punishment provides the most thorough overview and evaluation of the death penalty available today. Rather than focusing on advocacy, the authors emphasize science--what do we really know about the death penalty? Everyone has an opinion about it, but Hatch and Walsh have the facts. They are fair and balanced in their examination of the greatest moral issue facing the criminal justice system today. Students and scholars of the death penalty will be well served by this outstanding text."--Craig Hemmens, Washington State University"Capital Punishment is a well-written, up-to-date text that is accessible to an undergraduate audience. It is innovative in bringing in information on modern scientific methods relevant to the death penalty and also in zeroing in on nations that use capital punishment the most."--Kevin Minor, Eastern Kentucky University, "Capital Punishment provides the most thorough overview and evaluation of the death penalty available today.

Synopsis
Capital Punishment: Theory and Practice of the Ultimate Penalty is a fair, balanced, and accessible introduction to the greatest moral issue facing the American criminal justice system today. Opening with a unique chapter that outlines the philosophical and theoretical explanations for punishment and its relevance to the death-penalty debate, the authors then explore the wide array of topics in the field. The text covers the history of the death penalty in the U.S. from colonial times to the present day; the relevant landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases from Furman v. Georgia (1972) onwards; the history of public opinion and how it shapes the debate on capital punishment; the history of U.S. execution methods; deterrence; racial disparity in the application of the death penalty; wrongful convictions; the costs associated with capital punishment; and federal, military, and international death penalties. FEATURES Incorporates "Perspectives from the Field" boxes in most chapters that add valuable insights from people who have been personally involved in capital cases, including a judge, a prosecutor, a neuroscientist, a former death-row resident, and other key practitioners in the field Explores the process by which "hard" science (DNA) is used to address exoneration and mitigation, in terms that are understandable to students Includes an in-depth discussion of why we punish wrongdoers, examining why our urge to punish is so strong An open-access Companion Website provides chapter outlines, chapter learning objectives, sample quiz/exam questions, and links to helpful websites
