Great reads on SSRN

This morning I see these four new pieces on SSRN, all of which look very interesting:

• Embracing Chance: Post-Modern Meditations on Punishment by Bernard E. Harcourt

• Capital Punishment is Unconstitutional, but that Doesn’t Mean that the Supreme Court Should So Rule by Michael J. Perry

• Desert, Democracy, and Sentencing Reform by Alice Ristroph

• On the Uses and “Abuses” of Empirical Evidence in the Death Penalty Debate by Paul R. Zimmerman
