Softcover / Paperback. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. Softcover. Between 1867 and 1962 over 700 men and women stood in the prisoner's dock in courtrooms across Canada and listened as a judge sentenced them to death. The authors trace the stories of these men and women from 1867 to 1923 and details the crimes they committed as well as their final steps on the gallows. The book provides the opportunity to gain a vivid and fascinating look at some of the most notorious crimes perpetrated in Canada, from the most sparsely populated regions to the largest cities. The accounts are based on an examination of contemporary newspaper reports and the capital case files of the Department of Justice, many of which have only recently become available to researchers. Every story presented in this book represents a unique look at human nature and presents the reader with a dark, but important, aspect of Canadian history. Illus. + Index of Places, Index of Names and Numbered References. 258pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. It is easy to forget that the death penalty was an accepted aspect of Canadian culture and criminal justice from Confederation until 1976. The Practice of Execution in Canada is not about what led some to the gallows and others to escape it. Rather, it examines how the routine rituals and practices of education can be seen as a crucial social institution.Drawing on hundreds of case files, Ken Leyton-Brown shows that from trial to interment, the practice of execution was constrained by law and tradition.Despite this, however, the institution was not rigid. Criticism and reform pushed executions out of the public eye, and in so doing, stripped them of meaningful ritual and made them more vulnerable to criticism. Comprehensive and absorbing, this groundbreaking study is for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of contemporary debates on capital punishment.…
