In “Don’t Kill in Our Names: Families of Murder Victims Speak Out Against the Death Penalty,” author Rachel King presents the stories of 10 Murder Victims’ Families for Reconciliation members. Throughout the book, King examines the reasons why these survivors choose reconciliation over retribution and why they actively oppose capital punishment. Using first-hand accounts and third-person narrative, King presents the stories in the context of the nation’s on-going death penalty debate. King is legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. (Rutgers Press, 2003). For more information, visit Rutgers Press.
