Public Opinion Poll: Indian Study Way Forward. 330 $aThis book offers a broad overview of public attitudes to the death penalty in India. 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. 606 $aPsychology 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aCrime?Sociological aspects 606 $aLaw and Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y34000 606 $aSocial Justice, Equality and Human Rights$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070 606 $aCrime and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aCrime?Sociological aspects. 615 14$aLaw and Psychology. 615 24$aSocial Justice, Equality and Human Rights. 615 24$aCrime and Society. 676 $a345.540773 700 $aSahni$b Sanjeev P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0786365 702 $aJunnarkar$b Mohita$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409712703321 996 $aThe Death Penalty$91919241 997 $aUNINA
