From the folklore of live gibbetings to the eerie historical documenting of this weird post-execution tradition, The History of Gibbeting examines how and why we dealt with murderers and other serious criminals in this way. The book uses case studies through history and takes a look at how the introduction of the Murder Act shaped our relationship with gibbeting for years to come, and how we as a society demanded the most shocking post-mortem treatment of criminals. Whether gibbeting was ever a successful deterrent, it is still a fascination today and gibbet cages remain on display in museums all over the country"--Publisher's description. 505 0 $a The murder act -- The making of a gibbet -- Infamy -- Thieves and pirates -- That's entertainment -- The gibbet as a landmark -- No deterrent -- The decline of the gibbet -- A modern fascination. 650 0 $a Capital punishment $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Executions and executioners $z Great Britain $x History. 650 7 $a Capital punishment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846392 650 7 $a Executions and executioners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917772 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014820.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FB7D31909F4211EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
