Summary: | The article discusses points about death penalty in the book "Executing Freedom: The Cultural Capital Punishment in the United States" by Daniel LaChance. Topics include the development of novel theory by LaChance about the functionality of contradictory death penalty institution, argument on a poor measure of the death penalty when compared to the practice of filing a death notice, and how capital punishment is legitimized through the attribution of a false sense of agency to the condemned. |
