Saidov, A.H. Can there be a state without the capital punishment?

Abstract: Capital punishment is not a purely religious issue. Capital punishment is not purely a social problem. Capital punishment is not only the issue discussed by political leaders. Capital punishment is the issue on which each and every of us should have a view of one’s own. The book “Abolition of capital punishment”, which is reviewed in this article, offers to every interested and not indifferent person a possibility to elaborate whether can there be a society, which does not accept capital punishment, and if yes, why. What is meant by “abolition of capital punishment”, “society without capital punishment”?
