Recenzje

The death penalty is the most severe punishment available for those countries, like the United States, that still retain it...Benjamin Yost's defense of procedural abolitionism opens a new, convincing front as to why all of us, including retributivists, should not support death as a punishment...Against Capital Punishment is more than just an excellent work developing to a greater extent a compelling proceduralist approach to abolition of capital punishment; it is a rigorously researched and comprehensive take on the justifiability of execution as punishment.
