Richard Stack
Professor, American University; Author, "Dead Wrong: Violence, Vengeance, and the Victims of Capital Punishment"
Richard Stack is an associate professor within the School of Communication. His professional life is dedicated to social justice. Stack’s third book, "Dead Wrong: Violence, Vengeance, and the Victims of Capital Punishment," helped reframe national debate from: “Is the death penalty a deterrent to crime?” to, “Can we trust our government to make such irreversible life-and-death decisions, when it makes so many mistakes?” "Grave Injustice: Unearthing Wrongful Executions" [2013] takes the innocence argument further. It tells the stories of men who were executed even as serious doubt persists in their cases.
