About this title

Synopsis

Presents various points of view on the controversial topic of capital punishment, offering statistics, legal information, and studies to help better understand the complex issue.

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up-This volume is different from the "Opposing Viewpoints" or "Current Controversies" series (both Greenhaven) in that the arguments are set forth by a single author. Marzilli examines three debate topics, providing a point and counterpoint position for each one: Is the death penalty an effective deterrent to crime? Is it too easy to convict and execute people? Is capital punishment a just process? The author uses case studies for clarification and successfully weaves Supreme Court decisions regarding these matters into the discussions. Key figures involved in the fight against capital punishment, such as Jesse Jackson and Sister Helen Prejean, are introduced. The excellent inquiry questions placed throughout should ensure that readers will do some serious thinking and further research. Charts, graphs, and excerpts from court decisions enhance the presentation. Libraries owning Mary E. Williams's Capital Punishment (2000), Hayley R. Mitchell's The Death Penalty (2001), and Roman Espejo's Does Capital Punishment Deter Crime? (2002, all Greenhaven) may not need this title.
