Product Description:
To what degree should the American justice system punish offenders? Should the age of the offender, or his mental capacity, or the severity of his crime help dictate a fair punishment? This anthology discusses the Eighth Amendment, including a history dating back to biblical times, its inseparable ties to the death penalty, and recent rulings and debates.
