Life Imprisonment and Human Rights Paperback / softback
Edited by Professor Dirk van Zyl Smit, Dr Catherine Appleton
Part of the Onati International Series in Law and Society series
Paperback / softback
Description
In many jurisdictions today, life imprisonment is the most severe penalty that can be imposed.
Despite this, it is a relatively under-researched form of punishment and no meaningful attempt has been made to understand its full human rights implications.
This important collection fills that gap by addressing these two key questions: what is life imprisonment and what human rights are relevant to it?
These questions are explored from the perspective of a range of jurisdictions, in essays that draw on both empirical and doctrinal research.
Under the editorship of two leading scholars in the field, this innovative and important work will be a landmark publication in the field of penal studies and human rights.
