Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Story to Die For exposes what many Americans would prefer to deny that murderers, victims families and the state delude themselves with the same story that excuses doing unto others as was done unto you. In this new book, Judith Kay seeks to unmask what she refers to as the master story--or slogans and explanations we use in the face of violence, fear, and injustice to justify the death penalty. In Murdering Myths: The Story Behind the Death Penalty, Judith Kay goes beyond the hype and statistics to examine Americans' deep-seated beliefs about crime and punishment. She argues that Americans share a counter-productive idea of justice—that punishment corrects bad behavior, suffering pays for wrong deeds, and victims' desire for revenge is natural and inevitable. Drawing on interviews with both victims and inmates, Kay shows how this belief harms perpetrators, victims, and society and calls for a new narrative that recognizes the humanity in all of us.
