<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In many jurisdictions today, life imprisonment is the most severe penalty that can be imposed. Despite this, it is a relatively under-researched form of punishment and no meaningful attempt has been made to understand its full human rights implications. This important collection fills that gap by addressing these two key questions: what is life imprisonment and what human rights are relevant to it? These questions are explored from the perspective of a range of jurisdictions, in essays that draw on both empirical and doctrinal research. Under the editorship of two leading scholars in the field, this innovative and important work will be a landmark publication in the field of penal studies and human rights.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Dirk van Zyl Smit is Professor of Comparative and International Penal Law at the University of Nottingham.<br>Catherine Appleton is Senior Research Fellow in Law at the University of Nottingham.</p>
