Despite this, it is a relatively under-researched form of punishment and no meaningful attempt has been made to understand its full human rights implications. This important collection fills that gap by addressing these two key questions: what is life imprisonment and what human rights are relevant to it? These questions are explored from the perspective of a range of jurisdictions, in essays that draw on both empirical and doctrinal research. Under the editorship of two leading scholars in the field, this innovative and important work will be a landmark publication in the field of penal studies and human rights 410 0$aOn?ati international series in law and society. 606 $aLife imprisonment 606 $2Crime & criminology 615 0$aLife imprisonment. 676 $a345/.0773 702 $aAppleton$b Catherine 702 $aVan Zyl Smit$b Dirk 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148570403321 996 $aLife imprisonment and human rights$92962543 997 $aUNINA
