This is a comprehensive and nuanced historical survey of the death penalty in Ireland from the immediate post-Civil War period through to its complete abolition. Using original archival material, the book sheds light on the various social, legal and political contexts in which the death penalty operated and elucidates the extent to which ideas of class, gender, community and sanity impacted on the administration of justice.
