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 Governance,2945-6762EthnologyAsiaCultureAsiaPolitics and governmentEthicsLawPhilosophyLawHistoryAmericaPolitics and governmentCorrectionsPunishmentAsian CultureAsian PoliticsMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal HistoryAmerican PoliticsPrison and PunishmentEthnologyCulture.AsiaPolitics and government.Ethics.LawPhilosophy.LawHistory.AmericaPolitics and government.Corrections.Punishment.Asian Culture.Asian Politics.Moral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.Theories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History.American Politics.Prison and Punishment.364.660951Trevaskes Susan1964-1683696MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960125003321The Death Penalty in Contemporary China4328614UNINA
