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. Stacks 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.
