"Herb Haines tells the compelling recent story of one of the nation'soldest social movements. His tale picks up after organized opposition to thedeath penalty nearly succeeded in seeing capital punishment abolished in 1972,and it follows the movement's change of direction as hope faded that the U.S.Supreme Court would deliver on its promise to keep the death penalty free ofarbitrariness and racial bias, or do away with it. Haines' book presents auniquely critical but sympathetic appraisal of where the anti-death penaltymovement now stands, and what directions it should take."--William J. Bowers,Ph.D., Northeastern University, "...He provides a detailed and thoughtful analysis of the movement's most recent phase. This carefully researched and thorough account of anti-death penalty ativism in the United States over the past twenty-five years will be valuable in a variety of traditional graduate and upper-levelundergraduate courses."--American Journal of Sociology, "Drawing on a variety of methods, data, and theoretical frameworks, Professor Haines skillfully crafts a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of the dynamics of the movement to abolish the death penalty in the United States. It is scholarly yet engaging, critical yet sympathetic, and topical yet important. Social movement scholars, criminologists, activists, and other observers will find this first extensive account of anti-death penalty activism since the ten-year moratorium on executions ended captivating and provocative."--Robert D. Benford, University of Nebraska "Herb Haines tells the compelling recent story of one of the nation's oldest social movements.

Radelet, University of Florida "The most important theoretical task in current social movement theory is the integration of organizational and culturalist approaches to movement dynamics.

Synopsis
While most western democracies have renounced the death penalty, capital punishment enjoys vast and growing support in the United States. A significant and vocal minority, however, continues to oppose it. Against Capital Punishment is the first full account of anti-death penalty activism in America during the years since the ten-year moratorium on executions ended. Building on in-depth interviews with movement leaders and the records of key abolitionist organizations, this work traces the struggle against the pro-death penalty backlash that has steadily gained momentum since the 1970s. It reviews the conservative turn in the courts which, over the last two decades, has forced death penalty opponents to rely less on the litigation strategies that once served them well. It describes their efforts to mount a broad-based educational and political assault on what they see as the most cruel, racist, ineffective, and expensive manifestation of a criminal justice system gone wrong. Despite the efforts of death-penalty opponents, executions in the United States are on the increase. Against Capital Punishment diagnoses the reasons for the failure to mobilize widespread opposition to executions, and assesses the prospects for opposition to capital punishment in the future of the United States., This book is the first full account of anti-death penalty activism in America during the years since the ten-year moratorium on executions ended in 1976. It traces the successful assault on capital punishment during the 1960s and the struggle of abolitionists against the backlash that has steadily gained momentum since the mid-1970s, and diagnoses the reasons for their inability to mobilize widespread opposition to executions. Finally, it assesses the prospects for the future of the death penalty in the United States., This work is the first full account of anti-death penalty activism in America during the years since the ten-year moratorium on executions ended in 1976.
