{"product_id":"understanding-capital-punishment-law-understanding-series","title":"Understanding Capital Punishment Law (Understanding Series)","description":"The primary emphasis of Understanding Capital Punishment Law is an explanation of the constitutional law that governs death-penalty proceedings in the United States. As of 2024, the death penalty remains an option in 27 states and under federal and military law. The cruel and unusual punishment language of the Eighth Amendment has largely defined both the substance and procedures in capital cases.\nIn this book, the parameters of death-penalty cases are examined, and established principles―as well as unresolved issues―are analyzed. Since the fourth edition was published, significant changes have occurred in death-penalty law, procedure, and practice. The fifth edition presents the most up-to-date information and trends in death-penalty law. Students, practitioners, judges, activists, and others interested in the complexities of capital-punishment law will benefit from the explanations and commentary this book presents.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1531028292\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1531028292.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Carter, Linda|Howe, Scott|Richards McConville, Celestine|Kreitzberg, Ellen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
