Description:
In recent decades, a sharp divergence has developed with respect to the death penalty in Israel and the United States. In Israel, the death penalty has been imposed rarely and limited for a handful of “war time” crimes. In the U.S., the death penalty is carried out more frequently and covers a larger array of crimes, although its use has diminished significantly in recent years. Israel has also outlawed private prisons as contrary to human dignity, while private prisons abound in the U.S. Our panel of experts will analyze these differing approaches and discuss their theoretical underpinnings.
