摘要

本文探讨了巴巴多斯的死刑。根据历史背景和刑罚的殖民起源,我们试图理解其最近的历史,特别是2018年具有里程碑意义的法律判决,该判决最终迫使巴巴多斯对制裁进行改革。本文探讨了死刑的两极化的刑罚史;虽然在伦敦制定的法律延伸到巴巴多斯等殖民地国家,表明了规范的延续,但与边缘地区相比,大都市的刑事司法工具被用于不同的目的。我们审议了这种殖民强加和独立后保留镇压性惩罚的轨迹、加勒比对1990年代以来国际废除主义压力的抵抗以及最近的改革。研究了死刑作为一种政治和象征性工具的作用,特别考虑到巴巴多斯死刑的殖民遗产以及这一因素在多大程度上影响了当代关于惩罚的公开辩论。

The Death Penalty in Barbados: Reforming a Colonial Legacy
This article explores the death penalty in Barbados. Drawing on the historical context and the punishment’s colonial origins, we seek to make sense of its more recent history, particularly a 2018 landmark legal judgment that has finally forced reform of the sanction in Barbados. The article explores the bifurcated penological history of the death penalty; while laws enacted in London were extended to colonial nations such as Barbados, suggesting a continuation of norms, the tools of criminal justice were wielded for different purposes in the metropole compared with the periphery. We consider the trajectory of this colonial imposition and the retention of repressive punishments after independence, the Caribbean resistance to international abolitionist pressure from the 1990s and the recent reform. The role of the death penalty as a political and symbolic tool is examined, considering especially the colonial legacy of capital punishment in Barbados and the extent to which this factor has shaped contemporary public debates on punishment.
