Routledge Solon Explorations in Crime an Capital Punishment in Twentieth-Century Britain: Audience, Justice, Memory, (Paperback)

Drawing on primary research, Capital Punishment in Twentieth-Century Britain explores the cultural life of the death penalty in Britain in the twentieth century. Groundbreaking in its attention to the death penalty and the effect it had on everyday life, this is the only text on this era to place public and popular discourses about, and reactions to, capital punishment at the centre of the analysis.
