Download or read book Capital Punishment in Twentieth Century Britain written by Lizzie Seal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital punishment for murder was abolished in Britain in 1965. At this time, the way people in Britain perceived and understood the death penalty had changed – it was an issue that had become increasingly controversial, high-profile and fraught with emotion. In order to understand why this was, it is necessary to examine how ordinary people learned about and experienced capital punishment. Drawing on primary research, this book explores the cultural life of the death penalty in Britain in the twentieth century, including an exploration of the role of the popular press and a discussion of portrayals of the death penalty in plays, novels and films. Popular protest against capital punishment and public responses to and understandings of capital cases are also discussed, particularly in relation to conceptualisations of justice. Miscarriages of justice were significant to capital punishment’s increasingly fraught nature in the mid twentieth-century and the book analyses the unsettling power of two such high profile miscarriages of justice. The final chapters consider the continuing relevance of capital punishment in Britain after abolition, including its symbolism and how people negotiate memories of the death penalty. Capital Punishment in Twentieth-Century Britain is groundbreaking in its attention to the death penalty and the effect it had on everyday life and it 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. Interdisciplinary in focus and methodology, it will appeal to historians, criminologists, sociologists and socio-legal scholars.

Book excerpt: Hettie Lou Sayre saw him do it. Looking out her kitchen window, she saw Roger Greenfield murder Megan, his wife and her best friend. Although she did not want to believe it, Hettie knew it was Roger: she had lived next door to the couple for years, and even made eye contact with him as she dialed 911. Roger, a high school teacher since retiring from his law practice and a highly respected member of his small town community, proclaims his innocence- but how can he refute Hettie's testimony? A conviction is virtually assured. When detective Rick Canyon learns of the situation, he knows his long-time friend cannot be guilty and returns to his hometown to investigate the crime. But with the trial only three months away, Rick is finding no evidence in defense of his client; instead, he is running into obstacles: local police who are not too happy to see him return; a scheming and ambitious prosecutor; and an irrefutable eyewitness. "What's going on here?" How can this woman be so sure she saw Roger kill someone when I know in my gut it can't be true?" Canyon is completely baffled by his first- and most important- murder case, but he is determined to find a way to exonerate his friend.

Download or read book Mirrors of Mortality Routledge Revivals written by Joachim Whaley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1981, this reissue examines mankind’s preoccupation with death and mortality by isolating various societies in different periods of time. The authors examine not only the formal rituals associated with the last rite of passage, but also the social attitudes to death and dying which these rituals evidence. The essays establish that different periods do seem to be characterized by different images of death and attitudes to it, but the authors wisely avoid trying to impose strict chronological pattern. A pioneering work in the historical study of attitudes to death, this reissue should reignite discussion on the significance of death in human history. Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood examines attitudes to death as reflected in myth and religious thought in Ancient Greece and relates them to social and economic change. R. C. Finucane analysis the social significance of the ‘exemplary’ deaths of kings, criminals, traitors and saints in medieval Europe. Paul Fritz’s essay illustrates the importance of royal burials in early modern Britian; while Joachim Whaley examines the social and political significance of funerals in Hamburg between 1500 and 1800. John McManners discusses the work of Phililppe Aries and other prominent French scholars on the history of attitudes to death. David Irwin examines the images of death portrayed in European tombs around 1800. C.A Bayly analyzes the relationship between death ritual and society in Hindu Northern India, while David Cannadine discusses the impact of war on attitudes to death in modern Britain.
