Hanging in judgment: religion and death..

---

This is the most comprehensive history of capital punishment in modern England ever written, the first in more than thirty years, and the only one to cover the period 1957-1969. It shows how time and again the Church of England came to the rescue of a punishment that was in danger of being abolished, pushing for a policy which so sanitized the operation of hanging that people lost interest in its abolition. When finally the church withdrew its support, the retentionist cause collapsed.
