The Transition of Methods of Execution in North Carolina: A Descriptive Social History of Two Time Periods, 1935 and 1983Seitz, Katrina Nannette 03 May 2001 (has links)
The death penalty has been an area of focus in several academic disciplines, yet modest literature has been generated which examines the sanction from a sociological perspective. Most of the sociological interest in capital punishment is directed at examining and explaining racial disparities in sentencing, its effectiveness as a deterrent to violent crime, or its use as a mode of formal social control. Although execution methods have changed frequently over time in the United States, there is a paucity of research examining this phenomenon through a sociological lens. The extant literature identifies changing societal ideologies regarding the use of institutionalized violence as the impeti for legislative shifts in methods of execution. While these studies are useful in partially explaining method changes through time, there is a dearth of work which specifically addresses the dialectical process by which meanings attached to methods of punishment are socially constructed and negotiated, what social agents are engaged, and how this process occurs with respect to historical context.
This dissertation examines the legislative changes in execution methods at two points in time in North Carolina's history, 1935 and 1983. Grounded in a hybrid theoretical foundation of functionalist and interactionist perspectives, this study is a qualitative analysis of historical primary and secondary data. One goal of this project is to identify how social context informed ideologies of state-sanctioned death. Furthermore, this study attempts to reveal some of the various social agents who engaged in the process of negotiating meaning, how this process manifested itself, and how historical context may have influenced differences in legislative motive during the two transition years.
A comparative analysis of the data reveals that deference to the institutions of science, technology, and medicine was vital to the process of socially reconstructing and redefining methods of execution at both points in time. However, findings also indicate that public exposure to an existing method of execution as well as historically relative ideologies concerning state-sanctioned death greatly affect how the negotiation of meaning transpires. / Ph.

'n Ontleding van S.V. Makwanyane met spesifieke verwysing na die openbare meningBloem, Andre 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Summaries in English and Afrikaans / Die Konstitusionele Hof het ir:i S v Makwanyane besluit dat die doodstraf nie
versoenbaar is met die Grondwet nie en dit ongeldig verklaar. Die kritiek teenoor
die regbank en die openbare mening oor die doodstraf was nog altyd s6 prominent
dat die hof nie anders kon as om hieraan aandag te skenk nie. Die hof besluit dat
die openbare mening nie 'n rol speel in die hersieningsproses nie. In hierdie
verhandeling word die hof se standpunte en red es daarvoor ontleed. Ek kom tot die
gevolgtrekking dat die hof korrek bes I is het. Die open bare mening is onseker. Daar
is 'n verskil tussen die aard van die waardes in die Grondwet en die aard van die
open bare mening. Die kritiek op die uitspraak is te wyte aan die gebrek aan insig
en begrip onder lede van die gemeenskap oor die nuwe bestel en die rol van die
regbank daarin. / The Constitutional Court in S v Makwanyane declared that the death penalty was
inconsistent with the Constitution. The criticism on courts and the public opinion
on the death penalty have been so severe that the court could not have but
considered these issues. The court concluded that public opinion is not relevant
in constitutional review. In this dissertation, I analyze the court's viewpoints and
the reasons therefor. My conclusion is that the court made the correct decision.
The public opinion is uncertain, and differs from values. The judgment is criticised
due to a lack of understanding amongst the public as to the meaning of the new
dispensation and the role of our courts therein. / Law / Thesis (LL.M.)--Universiteit van Suid-Afrika, 1996.

Punishment and South African constitution: a penological perspectivePalmer, Eshaam 06 1900 (has links)
Since 25 January 1994, when the interim Constitution came into operation,
South Africa's criminal justice system became subject to constitutional
provisions, especially the Bill of Rights. All forms of punishment and treatment
are subject to the provisions of the Constitution. The first casualties were the
death penalty and corporal punishment, which were found to be unconstitutional
by the Constitutional Court. Since our criminal justice jurisprudence is still in the
developing stage, a comparative analysis with the Canadian and American penal
systems forms part of this thesis.
Provisions of the Constitution, which will have an indirect influence on
punishment include, access to information, just administrative action and state
institutions supporting democracy. The following provisions of the Bill of Rights
are expected to have a significant impact on punishment in all its facets,
equality; human dignity; life; freedom and security of the person; freedom from
slavery, servitude and forced labour; and the rights of children.
Judgments of the Constitutional Court, which abolished the death penalty and
corporal punishment are examined since they were the first indication the Court
gave on aspects of punishment. The Constitution also deals specifically with the
rights of arrested, detained and accused persons. It is within this provision that
2
the rights of prisoners are spelt out. Imprisonment as a form of punishment, has
to conform to the provisions of the Constitution, and the Correctional Services
Act is an attempt to render imprisonment compliant.
With the abolition of the death penalty and corporal punishment, the effect of
constitutional provisions on conventional forms of punishment and the
overpopulation of prisons, the establishment of alternative forms of punishment,
which would pass constitutional muster, is imperative. The Child Justice Bill is
an attempt to establish a unique system for juveniles who commit offences / Penology / D. Lit. et Phil. (Penology)

This paper thoroughly examines the thesis film, Blood in the Grass. Each area of the film's production is carefully analyzed, including writing, directing, production design, cinematography, editing, sound, and technology and workflow. In addition to these areas, the background and ideology of the filmmaker provides a context for the choices made in production. This overall analysis discusses the effectiveness of the goals set by the filmmaker for the film to be an emotionally effective commentary on capital punishment, and to be conducive to the short film medium.
