Though during the 1980s and 1990s, the Party's emphasis was on "kill many," in the 2000s the direction of policy began to move toward "kill fewer." This book details the policies, institutions, and story behind the reform of the death penalty.Palgrave Series in Asian GovernanceEthnologyAsiaEthicsLawPhilosophyLawCorrectionsPunishmentAsian Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411040Asian Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911110Ethicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000Theories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R11011US Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911180Prison and Punishmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B9000AsiaPolitics and governmentUnited StatesPolitics and governmentEthnologyEthics.LawPhilosophy.Law.Corrections.Punishment.Asian Culture.Asian Politics.Ethics.Theories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History.US Politics.Prison and Punishment.364.660951364.660973Trevaskes Sauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1663253BOOK9910825886303321The Death Penalty in Contemporary China4020423UNINA
