Life without Parole – America`s New Death Penalty? de Charles J. Ogletree Jr.

Life without Parole – America`s New Death Penalty?: The Charles Hamilton Houston Institute Series on Race and Justice

Autor Charles J. Ogletree Jr., Austin Sarat
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iun 2012
Is life without parole the perfect compromise to the death penalty? Or is it as ethically fraught as capital punishment? This comprehensive, interdisciplinary anthology treats life without parole as “the new death penalty”. Editors Charles J. Ogletree, Jr. and Austin Sarat bring together original work by prominent scholars in an effort to better understand the growth of life without parole and its social, cultural, political, and legal meanings. What justifies the turn to life imprisonment? How should we understand the fact that this penalty is used disproportionately against racial minorities? What are the most promising avenues for limiting, reforming, or eliminating life without parole sentences in the United States? Contributors explore the structure of life without parole sentences and the impact they have on prisoners, where the penalty fits in modern theories of punishment, and prospects for (as well as challenges to) reform.

Recenzii

“One frightening by-product of the American struggle over capital punishment is the proliferation of Life Without Parole as its bastard offspring. LWOP is embraced without scrutiny by abolitionists who assume that anything is better than execution. It is enshrined as a prosecutorial consolation prize when cases meet the technical standards for 'capital' murder but defendants lack blameworthiness. The unqualified condemnation of LWOP comes from a crazy displacement of distrust that puts extra suffering on offenders because citizens don’t trust those who govern. Fighting capital punishment must be a central concern in the United States. But threats to human rights rarely develop one at a time, so injustice must be fought on multiple fields of engagement. Ogletree, Sarat, and their distinguished contributors perform an important public service by taking a sustained look at yet another dangerous punitive excess.” Franklin Zimring, William G. Simon Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley
