Publisher's Synopsis
The Question Of Justifiable Homicide is a book written by Charles Greene Cumston and originally published in 1907. The book explores the legal and ethical implications surrounding the concept of justifiable homicide, which refers to the killing of another person that is deemed legally and morally acceptable under certain circumstances. Cumston examines various cases throughout history where justifiable homicide has been invoked, including cases of self-defense, defense of others, and the execution of criminals by the state. He also delves into the different legal systems and cultural attitudes towards justifiable homicide in different countries and regions. The book provides a thorough analysis of the complex and often controversial topic of justifiable homicide, and offers insights into the ways in which society and the law have grappled with this issue over time. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of law and justice, as well as those interested in the philosophical and ethical implications of violence and self-defense.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
