Více o knize
The book examines the philosophical underpinnings of capital punishment, arguing that opponents must strengthen their case to abolish it. Davis critiques the justifications for the death penalty, asserting that they hold philosophical merit. He links the death penalty to a broader theory of retributive justice, suggesting that any effective opposition to capital punishment requires a reevaluation of the entire criminal justice system. By addressing the root causes of violent crime, he posits that society can move towards a more effective and humane approach to punishment.
