项目摘要

I am applying to study for a DPhil at the University of Oxford's Centre for Criminology due to my proposed supervisor - Professor Carolyn Hoyle's - world-leading expertise on the death penalty. Professor Hoyle has written about gender and the death penalty in publications, including within editions of the seminal work, The Death Penalty: A Worldwide Perspective (Hood & Hoyle, 2008, 2015), as well as a piece entitled 'Remembering Women Sentenced to Death' (Hoyle, 2015). This particular research proposal complements Professor Hoyle's current research into foreign nationals on death row, as I would investigate the evidence that female foreign nationals are being held on death row on drug smuggling charges in Indonesia and Malaysia and that their gender and other socio-demographic variables may make them particularly vulnerable to exploitation by drug traffickers. Malaysia is currently undergoing some changes to the imposition of the mandatory death penalty for drug offences, introducing discretion for some drug offences, making possible a comparative analysis of these two jurisdictions. Furthermore, I would be able to utilise the academic and professional connections that Professor Hoyle has with death penalty lawyers and human rights organisations in these Asian jurisdictions to aid and facilitate my empirical research. I would draw upon my previous academic and professional experience of the death penalty. My academic interest in capital punishment was ignited whilst studying abroad as part of my undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), when I took a class entitled 'Race, Innocence and the Decline of the US Death Penalty' under the direction of a leader in the field, Professor Frank Baumgartner. This class covered all manner of topics related to the US death penalty, including: race and injustice; the geography of the death penalty; innocence; capital crimes, trials and appeals; particular Supreme Court decisions such as Furman and Gregg; the North Carolina Racial Justice Act 2009; and public opinion. I wrote papers on the topics of botched executions and wrongful convictions for which I achieved a GPA of 4.0 (and across all subject matters I studied at UNC). I attended talks given by those intimately involved in the US death penalty, including Anthony Ray Hinton, a recent exoneree from Alabama's death row. I visited Central Prison at Raleigh, and witnessed the solitary confinement cells, mental health units, and death row. Following my semester abroad I interned at the Center for Death Penalty Litigation (CDPL) in Durham, NC, whereby I assisted in the following capacities: I met with a client on death row; I reviewed and gathered evidence in two capital murder appeals; and I assembled exhibits from hearings from the repeal of the North Carolina Racial Justice Act 2009.

我申请在牛津大学犯罪学中心攻读哲学博士学位，因为我的导师卡罗琳·霍伊尔教授在死刑方面拥有世界领先的专业知识。霍伊尔教授在出版物中撰写了关于性别和死刑的文章，包括开创性著作《死刑：全球视角》（Hood & Hoyle，2008年，2015年），以及题为《记住被判处死刑的妇女》（Hoyle，2015年）的文章。这项特别的研究建议补充了霍伊尔教授目前对死囚区外国国民的研究，因为我将调查以下证据：在印度尼西亚和马来西亚，女性外国国民因毒品走私指控而被关押在死囚区，她们的性别和其他社会人口变量可能使她们特别容易受到贩毒者的剥削。马来西亚目前正在对毒品犯罪强制性死刑的判处进行一些改革，对某些毒品犯罪实行自由裁量权，从而有可能对这两个司法管辖区进行比较分析。此外，我将能够利用霍伊尔教授与这些亚洲司法管辖区的死刑律师和人权组织的学术和专业联系，以帮助和促进我的实证研究。我将利用我以前在死刑方面的学术和专业经验。我对死刑的学术兴趣是在国外学习时点燃的，这是我在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校（University of North Carolina at查佩尔山）本科学位的一部分，当时我在该领域的领导者弗兰克·鲍姆加特纳（Frank Baumgartner）教授的指导下上了一门名为“种族，无辜和美国死刑的衰落”的课程。该课程涵盖了与美国死刑相关的各种主题，包括：种族和不公正;死刑的地理分布;无罪;死刑罪、审判和上诉;最高法院的特定判决，例如弗曼和格雷格; 2009年《北卡罗来纳州种族正义法案》;以及公众舆论。我写的论文主题是拙劣的处决和错误的定罪，我取得了4.0的GPA（在所有的主题，我在斯坦福大学学习）。我参加了那些与美国死刑问题密切相关的人的演讲，其中包括最近从亚拉巴马死囚区获释的安东尼·雷欣顿。我参观了位于罗利的中央监狱，亲眼目睹了单独监禁室、精神健康病房和死囚牢房。在国外的学期结束后，我在北卡罗来纳州达勒姆的死刑诉讼中心（CDPL）实习，在那里我协助了以下工作：我会见了一位死囚客户;我审查并收集了两起谋杀案上诉的证据;我收集了2009年废除北卡罗来纳州种族正义法听证会的证据。
