It examines in detail the progress made by international organizations worldwide in their efforts to abolish the death penalty and provides statistics from various countries that have already abolished it. The book focuses on four main aspects: the excessive cost and poor use of funds; wrongful executions of innocent people; the death penalty’s failure as an efficient deterrent; and the alternative sentence of life imprisonment without parole. In closing, the book analyses the current debates on capital punishment around the globe and in the Indian context. Based on public opinion surveys, the book is essential reading for all those interested in India, its government, criminal justice system, and policies on the death penalty and human rights.PsychologySocial justiceHuman rightsCrime—Sociological aspectsLaw and Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y34000Social Justice, Equality and Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070Crime and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000Psychology.Social justice.Human rights.Crime—Sociological aspects.Law and Psychology.Social Justice, Equality and Human Rights.Crime and Society.345.540773Sahni Sanjeev Pauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut786365Junnarkar Mohitaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409712703321The Death Penalty1919241UNINA
