Abstract
VOICES OF THE DEATH PENALTY DEBATE is a deliberately different book. It seeks to educate a national and international citizenry about capital punishment through testimony at the historic 2004 and 2005 Hearings on whether the death penalty should be reinstated in New York State. VOICES presents arguments on both sides of this issue from experts, ordinary citizens, victims, organizations, religious leaders, and the exonerated. An explanatory narrative by the author accompanies this testimony. Topics include death penalty facts and figures, constitutional limitations, justifications for capital punishment, costs, the prosecutorial process, race, mental illness, executing the innocent, and the international perspective.
