In eighteenth-century London the spectacle of a hanging was not simply a form of punishing transgressors.Rather it evidently served the most sinister purpose-for a prvileged ruling class-of forcing the poor population of London to accept the criminalization of customary rights and the new forms of private property. Necessity drove the citys poor into inevitable conflict with the changing property laws, such that all the working-class men and women of London had good reason to fear the example of Tyburns Triple Tree.In this new edition Peter Linebaugh reinforces his original arguments with responses to his critics based on an impressive array of historical sources. As the trend of capital punishment intensifies with the spread of global capitalism, The London Hanged also gains in contemporary relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972023222560,"sku":"NEW1859845762","price":38.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81MjZCXQCVL.jpg?v=1783789794","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-london-hanged-crime-and-civil-society-in-the-eighteenth-century-1859845762","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
