title = "The death penalty, due process violations, murder by decree and extra-legal killings: A typology of {\textquoteleft}murder by governments{\textquoteright}",
abstract = "Recent scholarship on the death penalty and harm reduction has explored the relationship between judicial and extrajudicial killings of drug offenders. Such research tends to presume that a significant legal dividing line is whether or not the defendant{\textquoteright}s conduct has been judged in a courtroom before execution – but this is not the only way to differentiate between types of state killings carried out by commission. This Research Paper sets out to legally define the {\textquoteleft}death penalty{\textquoteright} as against other forms of premeditated state killings, with special attention to drugs cases in East and Southeast Asia, where this is presently an important regional issue because of the recent spread of lethal anti-drugs campaigns.",
