Professor Frank Baumgartner is a political scientist who has spent years analysing the death penalty. He tells us about the bigger picture: how factors like the race and gender of a victim can influence who receives a death sentence, how people who win an appeal can be sentenced to death again, the enormous financial costs involved, and the inconsistencies that shape how the system is applied.
