This book examines and assesses what the United States can learn from the European experience with capital punishment, especially the trajectory of abolition in different European nations. As a comparative sociology and history of the present, the book seeks to illuminate the way death penalty systems and their dissolution work, by means of eleven chapters written by an interdisciplinary group of authors from the United States and Europe. This work will help readers see how close the United States is to ending capital punishment and some of the cultural and institutional barriers that stand in the way of abolition. 606 $aCapital punishment$zEurope 606 $aCapital punishment$zUnited States 615 0$aCapital punishment 615 0$aCapital punishment 676 $a364.66094 702 $aSarat$b Austin 702 $aMartschukat$b Ju?rgen 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464236003321 996 $aIs the death penalty dying$92472872 997 $aUNINA
