In this unique collection, family members and other survivors (or "co-victims") of crimes, academics and victims' advocates describe the effects of capital punishment at personal, practical and theoretical levels. The 22 articles begin with accounts from co-victims, followed by articles on the impact of the law on homicide victims' survivors, the process of decisions to seek and impose the death penalty, and the involvement of co-victims in clemency proceedings. Researchers offer overviews of studies on how the death penalty affects co-victims and examine how they fit within the court system, how they react to attempts at reconciliation such as emotional restitution, contact with the offender and defense-based outreach programs, and how capital punishment affects those who work to help co-victims.
