It is ineffective as a deterrent for crime. It is an instrument the state uses to contain or eliminate its political adversaries. It is a tool of \"justice\" that disproportionality affects religious, social, and racial minorities. It is a sanction that cannot be fixed if unjustly applied. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYet the United States--along with countries notorious for human rights abuse--remains an advocate for the death penalty. In these thirteen pieces, Mario Marazziti exposes the profound inhumanity and irrationality of the death penalty in this country, and urges us to join virtually every other industrialized democracy in rendering capital punishment an abandoned practice belonging to a crueler time in human history. A polemical book, yes, yet one that brings together a wide range of stories to compel the heart as well the mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Marazziti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609805674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609805678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 5.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Mario Marazziti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065749680383,"sku":"9781609805678","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03f2b547-57d6-409b-bb6e-a8e44c31e991.jpg?v=1768677017","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/13-ways-of-looking-at-mario-marazziti-9781609805678","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
