Book synopsis

The use of torture and harsh interrogation techniques by the United States during the 'War on Terror' has raised the salience of torture in the public eye as well as in social science scholarship. Examining Torture brings together some of the best recent scholarship on the incidence of torture in a comparative and international context. The contributors to this volume use both quantitative and qualitative approaches to examine the causes and consequences of torture policies and the resulting public opinion. Policy makers as well as scholars and those concerned with human rights will find this collection invaluable.
