This book is published for and on behalf of the United Nations. It is the revised text of the report prepared by the author as Expert Consultant to the tenth session of the UN Committee on Crime Prevention and Control, which met in Vienna in August 1988. It now appears as a special issue of the International Review of Criminal Policy, published by OUP. In this new study the author has drawn upon the replies to UN surveys, the reports of other international bodies and the literature on aspects of capital punishment. The conclusions, as well as the details, of this study, should be of interest to those in many parts of the world who are concerned about capital punishment, as well as to all those interested in the broader questions of crime, criminal justice, the sociology of crime and the making of criminal policy.
