Capital punishment advocates note that because the death penalty is reserved for the most aggravated murders, the deterrent effect of capitalpunishment on such crimes may not be apparent in data on homicide rates in general.

  Le merveilleux Le mot « merveille », issu du latin mirabilia, désigne un pro­ dige surnaturel; il qualifie aussi la valeur superlative. Le mer­ veilleux crée l'étonnement, l'admiration en introduisant une rupture, un décalage par rapport à la normalité. Dans les romans de Chrétien de Troyes, le merveilleux est un élément indispensable de la narration : il constitue l'un des deux pôles du récit. La quête du héros suppose en effet un va-et-vient constant entre le pôle de la cour arthurienne, qui...
