Description: This is an oversized first edition, hard copy, illustrating photographs of crime and death from the Burns Archive, known for its 1980s studies of derangement of the mind and body and photographic histories of medicine and death. The book is divided into four sections: crime scenes, police action, punishment and executions. Photographs are concentrated between 1890 and 1950, a time when criminals often admitted their crimes and were quickly punished. Unlike many previous works on the subject, this compilation of crime scenes gives readers a forensic view, offering entire series of images used by detectives and criminologists. Other photographs reveal the evolving standards of the American criminal justice system, from water torture at Sing Sing prison, whipping posts, penitentiary life and the notorious deadly work camps of the south. In addition they document executions, hanging, firing squads, and the electric chair Most of these images are published for the first time and are are valuable new resource for historians and researchers. This book is in excellent condition with very, very minor wear on the dust cover,
