5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome & coherent addition to the death penalty debate, January 10, 2001

This review is from: Frontiers of Justice: Death Penalty (Paperback)

Frontiers Of Justice: The Death Penalty is an impressive anthology on the subject of capital punishment. The contributors represent men and women of conscience, including those incarcerated (as well as their families) and those free (including the families of crime victims). They are united to decry the use of the death penalty to resolve criminal justice problems in the American judicial system. Some of the contributors are drawn from the criminal justice system, government, religion, journalism, and humanist advocacy. Others are ordinary people whose lives have been touched by violence, including the act of murder. Frontiers Of Justice: The Death Penalty is a welcome and coherent contribution to today's on-going national debate over the use (and abuse) of the death penalty as an instrument of social justice and public safety.
