商品簡介
Sociologist Archibald examines political, economic, and social factors that help explain the state-level variation in the adoption and implementation of the death penalty in the US states from 1985 to 2009. She looks for any association between the number of executions and the political affiliation of the state legislature, and, after controlling for political and demographic factors, tests whether the implementation of capital punishment is a response to homicide rates.
