Larry W. Koch, Colin Wark & John F.
Galliher. The death of the American death penalty: states still leading
the way. Northeastern University Press, 2012. KF9227.C2K63 2012 The
authors concentrate on the local and regional relationships between death
penalty abolition and numerous empirical factors, such as economic
conditions; public sentiment; the roles of social, political, and economic
elites; the mass media; and population diversity. They highlight the recent
abolition of the practice in New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Illinois;
the near misses in New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maryland, and Nebraska; the
Kansas rollercoaster rides; and the surprising recent decline of the death
penalty even in the deep South. |

Browne
C. Lewis. Papa's baby: paternity and artificial insemination. New York
University Press, 2012. KF542.L49
2012 Browne C. Lewis argues that the courts
should take steps to insure that all children have at least two legal
parents. Additionally, state legislatures should recognize that more than one
class of fathers may exist and allocate paternal responsibility based, again,
upon the best interest of the child. Lewis supplements her argument with
concrete methods for dealing with different types of cases, including
anonymous and non-anonymous sperm donors, married and unmarried women, and
lesbian couples. In so doing, she first establishes different types of
paternity, and then draws on these to create an expanded definition of
paternity. |
