Summary:The death penalty has long played a central role in jurisprudence, in terms of identifying the most serious offenses and the most culpable offenders, as well as understanding the mental conditions that may exclude an offender from such a sentence. This title explores the concept of 'protecting well-being while pursuing justice'.
