The book begins with the history of the death penalty from colonial to modern times  and then examines the moral and legal arguments for and against capital punishment. It also provides an overview of major Supreme Court decisions and describes the legal process behind the death penalty. In addressing these issues  the author reviews recent developments in death penalty law and procedure  including ramifications of newer case law  such as that regarding using lethal injection as a method of execution. The authors motivation has been to understand what motivates the \"deathquest\" of the American people  leading a large percentage of the public to support the death penalty. The book educates readers so that whatever their death penalty positions are  they are informed opinions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646874804277,"sku":"ByrdShop_1138940887","price":78.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781138940888.jpg?v=1781679403","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/deathquest-9781138940888","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
