Review
"Because it combines a philosophical framework and a debate-oriented approach, The Death Penalty: For and
Against makes a unique contribution to the literature on capital punishment . . . for those wanting theoretical
and historical material to better understand capital punishment, Pojman and Reiman do not disappoint."
--Samuel B. Hoff, Delaware State University The Law and Politics Book Review, Sept 1999; Vol. 9 No. 9
"A valuable book for those who are uncertain about the use of capital punishment in our society."
