In less than 40 years, 124 countries have abolished the death penalty. Although no one has been executed in Australia since 1967, Australians' attitudes regarding the death penalty are still mixed. The recent execution of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran in Indonesia has brought home the human impacts of state-sanctioned killing. What are the arguments for and against capital punishment? Are there ever exceptions for the worst offenders? Does the death penalty prevent or deter crime? What is Australia doing diplomatically to encourage other states towards abolition? This book looks at the death penalty and its legal abolition worldwide, and explores a range of arguments and attitudes towards capital punishment at home and abroad. Can the death penalty ever be applied fairly? Whose right is it, if anyone's, to decide death over life?Issues in society (Balmain, N.S.W.) ;v. 399.Capital punishmentAustraliaHuman rights advocacyAustraliaCapital punishmentMoral and ethical aspectsCapital punishmentCapital punishmentHuman rights advocacyCapital punishmentMoral and ethical aspects.Capital punishment.364.660994Healey JustinMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798198103321The death penalty debate3787825UNINA03089nam 2200649Ia 450 991043805090332120200520144314.09789400761902940076190210.1007/978-94-007-6190-2(CKB)2670000000372393(EBL)1697548(OCoLC)841930213(SSID)ssj0000907395(PQKBManifestationID)11484687(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000907395(PQKBWorkID)10884186(PQKB)10017912(DE-He213)978-94-007-6190-2(MiAaPQ)EBC1697548(PPN)169142345(EXLCZ)99267000000037239320130401d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrIAENG transactions on engeineering technologies special volume of the World Congress on Engineering 2012 /Gi-Chul Yang, Sio-Iong Ao, Len Gelman, editors1st ed. 2013.New York Springer20131 online resource (763 p.)Lecture notes in electrical engineering ;229Description based upon print version of record.9789400799752 9400799756 9789400761896 9400761899 Includes bibliographical references.Topics Covered Include Applied and Engineering Mathematics -- Computational Statistics -- Mechanical Engineering -- Bioengineering -- Internet Engineering -- Wireless Networks -- Knowledge Engineering -- Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial Applications.This book contains fifty-eight revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers participating in the Advances in Engineering Technologies and Physical Science conference, held in London, U.K., 4-6 July, 2012.
