Hanged by the Neck Until You Be Dead: Or Why the Death Sentence Should Be Abolished (1877) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161901771)

Hanged By The Neck Until You Be Dead: Or Why The Death Sentence Should Be Abolished is a book written by an anonymous member of the New York Bar in 1877. The book argues against the use of the death sentence as a form of punishment, citing various reasons why it is both inhumane and ineffective. The author presents a detailed analysis of the history and practice of capital punishment, and argues that it is not an effective deterrent to crime. The book also examines the ethical and moral implications of the death penalty, and argues that it violates basic human rights. The author suggests alternative forms of punishment that are more humane and effective, such as life imprisonment. This book is a powerful critique of the death penalty and a call to action for its abolition. It is a must-read for anyone interested in criminal justice reform and human rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
