Bohm (criminal justice and legal studies, U. of Central Florida) presents ten chapters examining the contemporary debate over the death penalty in the United States. The first half of the book looks at issues connected to miscarriages of justice and questions of innocence and includes chapters on the state death penalty study commissions and their recommendations, common themes among factually innocent capital defendants executed in the era following Furman v. Georgia (1972), inadequacies in compensation for the wrongfully convicted, and the flaws of lethal execution as a execution method. The remaining papers address death penalty opinion among scholars and police managers, media access to executions, consensual executions, and the relationship between capital punishment and lynching.
