Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book collates the findings of a Victorian commission assembled to investigate the efficacy and ethics of capital punishment in 19th-century England. The author, a leading abolitionist at the time, gathered evidence from politicians, prison officials, and professionals in various fields to make a case against the death penalty. Through meticulous documentation and analysis of murder rates and execution statistics from England, Russia, France, Prussia, and other European countries, the author reveals that the abolition or severe curtailment of capital punishment did not result in increased murder rates. The author argues that imprisonment and hard labor are more effective deterrents, afford more opportunities for prisoner rehabilitation, and reduce the number of wrongful executions. This book provides a wealth of historical data to support the abolition of capital punishment, making it an invaluable reference for modern debates on the topic.
