Description

This scholarly work examines how ordinary British people perceived and understood capital punishment throughout the twentieth century, culminating in the abolition of the death penalty for murder in 1965. Drawing on primary research, the book explores the cultural life of capital punishment in Britain, investigating how the public learned about and experienced this controversial issue. The study analyses the role of the popular press and other media in shaping public opinion during a period when attitudes toward the death penalty became increasingly fraught with emotion and debate. Published by Routledge as part of their SOLON Explorations in Crime and Criminal Justice Histories series, this volume provides essential historical context for understanding the social and cultural factors that influenced one of Britain's most significant legal reforms.
