Reasons For Abolishing Capital Punishment (1878) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120687555)

Reasons for Abolishing Capital Punishment is a book written by Marvin Henry Bovee in 1878. The book argues against the use of capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, as a form of punishment for convicted criminals. Bovee presents various arguments and reasons for why he believes that capital punishment is a flawed and ineffective system of justice. He argues that the death penalty is often applied unfairly, with minorities and the poor being disproportionately sentenced to death. He also argues that the death penalty does not serve as a deterrent to crime and that it is a cruel and inhumane punishment. Bovee also discusses the history of capital punishment and its use in different societies throughout history. The book provides a thorough examination of the arguments both for and against the death penalty and is considered an important work in the movement to abolish capital punishment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
