Book excerpt: "The 1994 Kansas Legislature enacted HB 2578 ". . . creating the crime of capital murder and providing for a sentence of death therefore under certain circumstances. . ." Kansas had not had the death penalty since 1972 when the United States Supreme Court held in Furman v. Georgia that the death penalty, as then administered, violated the constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. Since July 1, 1994, which was the effective date of HB 2578, there have been over 80 potential capital cases in Kansas and seven persons have been sentenced to death. The actual costs of death penalty defense in Kansas from fiscal year 1995 (July 1, 1994) through fiscal year 2003 (June 30, 2003) have totaled approximately 10.8 million dollars. Expenditures for death penalty defense in fiscal year 2004 are expected to be two million dollars. With lower State revenue and death penalty costs increasing, the 2003 Legislature requested that the Legislative Division of Post Audit and the Kansas Judicial Council each conduct studies relating to the costs of the death penalty. At its June 20, 2003 meeting, the Judicial Council agreed to undertake the requested assignment. As is its usual manner of operation, the Council appointed an advisory committee made up of persons with experience and expertise in the area of law being considered and who represent a variety of points of view"--Page 3

Download or read book Routledge Handbook on Capital Punishment written by Robert M. Bohm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital punishment is one of the more controversial subjects in the social sciences, especially in criminal justice and criminology. Over the last decade or so, the United States has experienced a significant decline in the number of death sentences and executions. Since 2007, eight states have abolished capital punishment, bringing the total number of states without the death penalty to 19, plus the District of Columbia, and more are likely to follow suit in the near future (Nebraska reinstated its death penalty in 2016). Worldwide, 70 percent of countries have abolished capital punishment in law or in practice. The current trend suggests the eventual demise of capital punishment in all but a few recalcitrant states and countries. Within this context, a fresh look at capital punishment in the United States and worldwide is warranted. The Routledge Handbook on Capital Punishment comprehensively examines the topic of capital punishment from a wide variety of perspectives. A thoughtful introductory chapter from experts Bohm and Lee presents a contextual framework for the subject matter, and chapters present state-of-the-art analyses of a range of aspects of capital punishment, grouped into five sections: (1) Capital Punishment: History, Opinion, and Culture; (2) Capital Punishment: Rationales and Religious Views; (3) Capital Punishment and Constitutional Issues; (4) The Death Penalty’s Administration; and (5) The Death Penalty’s Consequences. This is a key collection for students taking courses in prisons, penology, criminal justice, criminology, and related subjects, and is also an essential reference for academics and practitioners working in prison service or in related agencies.

Download or read book The Economics of Human Rights written by Elizabeth M. Wheaton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economics plays a key role in human rights issues as decision-makers weigh the incentives associated with choosing how to use scarce resources in the context of committing or escaping human rights violence. This textbook provides an introduction to the microeconomic analysis of human rights utilizing economics as a lens through which to examine social topics including capital punishment, violence against women, asylum seeking, terrorism, child abuse, genocide, and hate. Whether analyzing the decisions made in capital punishment cases, the causes and consequences of genocide, or the impact of terrorist acts on domestic and international decision-making, the science of economics provides tools and a systematic method of analysis and policy recommendation. This key text presents a method for integrating the social sciences of economics and human rights to create new opportunities for the investigation of social issues. Within each chapter, readers gain a fundamental understanding of a specific human rights issue, the decision-makers and the decision-making process involved, and the benefits and costs leading to the decisions. Experts on each issue, drawn from a variety of fields, contribute to each chapter and present first-hand accounts and different perspectives on each issue. The detailed analyses and accounts provided also explore the potential incentives involved in the prevention and termination of human rights violations. Aiming to further economic inquiry and enhance interdisciplinary research, this textbook serves as a multi-purpose guide for a range of readers. Students, researchers, and educators, as well as those working in organizations supporting victims of human rights violations and policy-makers facing human rights challenges, will find this book informative and engaging.
