About this product

Product Information

A fierce opponent of the death penalty argues that capital punishment is simply a form of legalized mob lynching-and, as such, is doomed to failure. Public executions were once commonplace American spectacles. In one instance, Puritan clergymen convicted and executed nineteen people for the crime of witchcraft. On the other side of the country many years later, San Francisco's city fathers held official vigilante hangings. But today, executions are rigidly controlled bureaucratic procedures authorized by the state. In The Hangman's Knot: Lynching, Legal Execution, and America's Struggle with the Death Penalty , Eliza Steelwater presents a fascinating history of execution in the United States, from colonial times to the present. With a compelling narrative and gripping personal stories, she documents how this debate became one of the most contentious of our time. The author, a veteran death-penalty researcher and co-founder of Project HAL (Historical American Lynching), shows that the answer to the death penalty's future lies in a discussion of its past. Using information from Project HAL and the authoritative Capital Punishment Research Project - including records of over 15,00
