Summary

In our society, there are those who believe the death penalty is necessary to punish the worst crimes, and there are those who believe that it should be abolished. Author Maurene J. Hinds examines the arguments on both sides of the debate, and she shows how the courts-especially the Supreme Court-have played a part in the evolution of capital punishment in the United States. Includes instructions on how readers can conduct a moot court that mirrors the Supreme Court case.
