Abstract
THIS BIBLIOGRAPHY IS DIVIDED INTO THREE SECTIONS WITH EACH SECTION INDEXING A DIFFERENT TYPE OF LITERATURE. IN THE FIRST SECTION, CONTAINING BOOKS, ESSAYS, PAMPHLETS, AND GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS, ENTRIES ARE LISTED ALPHABETICALLY BY AUTHOR. IN THE SECOND SECTION, CONTAINING PERIODICAL LITERATURE INCLUDING JOURNAL AND NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, ENTRIES ARE ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY BY SUBJECT HEADING AND THEN BY TITLE. WHERE THE MATERIAL CONTAINED IN A PARTICULAR ARTICLE CROSSES DISCIPLINES, THE ENTRY FOR THE ARTICLE IS REPEATED IN EACH SECTION TO WHICH THE MATERIAL RELATES AND THE RESEARCHER IS REFERRED TO ADDED HEADINGS THROUGH A 'SEE ALSO' CROSS-REFERENCE. SAMPLE SUBJECT HEADINGS ARE 'CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT,' 'THE MORALITY OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT,' AND 'DETERRENCE'. THE SUBJECT HEADINGS AND CROSS-REFERENCES ARE LISTED. THE LAST SECTION, THE AUTHOR INDEX, REFERS TO THE CITATIONS IN THE FIRST TWO SECTIONS. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED--DAG).
