ABSTRACT

For the last two decades, the death penalty in the US has steadily declined. During this time, governors have at rare but crucial moments participated in shaping the death penalty in their respective states by issuing vetoes. Gubernatorial vetoes have in some cases been used not only to prevent abolition from occurring, but also to bar the state from enacting legislation to expand it. However, little is known about what factors influence the decision to veto these often very controversial bills. Analysis of a unique dataset of death penalty bills covering years 1999–2018 suggests that a governor’s individual attributes, as well as institutional factors, have an effect on the likelihood of a veto in the legislative context of the death penalty, with different aspects of time in office, experience and partisanship being of particular relevance.

动态罕见的决定:州长否决权和死刑,1999-2018

摘要

在过去的二十年里,美国的死刑数量稳步下降。在此期间,州长们在罕见但关键的时刻通过发出否决权参与制定各自州的死刑。在某些情况下,州长否决权不仅被用来防止废除死刑,而且还阻止州政府颁布立法来扩大废除死刑。然而,很少有人知道是什么因素影响了否决这些通常非常有争议的法案的决定。对涵盖 1999 年至 2018 年的死刑法案独特数据集的分析表明,州长的个人属性以及制度因素会影响死刑立法背景下否决权的可能性,时间的不同方面在办公室,经验和党派关系尤为重要。
