Capital punishment along with abortion and euthanasia make up the holy trinity of controversial and highly emotive subjects which generate polar opposite opinions acros society.
This book leans neither one way nor the other and provides objective accounts which both favour and criticise the practice. It is an empowering book because the reader is left asking themselves "what do I think" - they have nto been coerced or led down a particular path.
The book is laid out in a way which intermingles pro and con arguments. This adds to the sense of balance.
If you are interested in the subject, this is a good companion as you'll consider arguments you may not have seen before.
