Capital punishment in contemporary US America: Development and debateGRIN Verlag, 2008. 8. 26. - 119페이지 Examination Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, Dresden Technical University, course: Abschlussarbeit zur Erlangung des Staatsexamens, language: English, abstract: Die Examensarbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema der Todesstrafe im zeitgenössischen US Amerika und versucht den Grund für dessen, in der westlichen Welt singulären Befürwortung dieser Strafe aufzudecken. Sie besteht aus 2 ineinandergreifende Teile: einen geschichtlichen Abriss der Entwicklung der Todesstrafe, beginnend in den 1960er Jahren, der mit der Schilderung der gegenwärtigen Situation in den USA endet und eine anschließende, um Objektivität bemühte Debatte und Darstellung von Argumenten sowohl für als auch gegen die Todesstrafe, die im Laufe der Geschichte immer wieder auftauchten und immer noch auftauchen. Dabei wird eine Veränderung der Argumentation für und gegen die Todesstrafe während der letzten 4 Jahrzehnte ersichtlich, die mit der allgemeinen gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung in den USA zusammenhängt. |
