In this podcast New York University sociologist David W. Garland discusses his book, Peculiar Institution: America's Death Penalty in an Age of Abolition. Garland presents evidence that the death penalty in the United States fails to realize its stated goals. Yet it persists here—alone among developed nations—because it serves social and political ends.

Garland is a professor of sociology at New York University and the Arthur T. Vanderbilt Professor of Law at the NYU School of Law. This presentation is part of the Vera Institute of Justice's Neil A. Weiner Research Speaker Series.
