«’This book offers a fascinating comparative exploration of the practice of the death penalty within America and in a range of other countries, along with important discussions of whether the death penalty can be part of a "sustainable" system of criminal justice, and of reasons to hope for its eventual abolition.’ R.A. Duff, University of Stirling, UK ’This book begins with an ambitious analysis of the death penalty as a hindrance to a sustainable criminal justice system in a sustainable society. The subsequent chapters are written by some of the greatest thinkers and researchers to have published recently on the subject. This monumental book is essential reading for any discussion of the death penalty.’ Setsuo Miyazawa, UC Hastings College of the Law, USA and Aoyama Gakuin University, Japan '...an important contribution to the international debate concerning the abolition or retention of the death penalty as an instrument of criminal and political justice.'
