What reading level is Selected Articles On Capital Punishment book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And it cannot be contended that the repeal of the death penalty as to all crimes of a lower grade a penalty, if inflicted at all, unques- tionably to be reserved for the gravest offenses, and obviously disproportionate to any other affords any argument for its abolition in all cases, however atrocious. The general grad- ual amelioration of the penal laws in Christendom for years past, and the substitution of other lesser punishments for the capital one, cannot, therefore, of themselves be insis...ted upon as an argument for total abolition of the latter.
I have had no opportunity to see the contributions on that side of the question in the present conference, and, of course, cannot anticipate whether such an argument may be adduced. It has, however, sometimes . Been used, and the mere partial abolition for the lesser crimes has been urged with some ef- fect in persuading the public that ''hanging for murder" was a remaining relic of barbarism existent- in these modern days, and stood a last incongruous and monstrous monument of the illogical ferocity of our ancestors in applying death as the invariable punishment for offenses of every grade.
