Deadly Intent

Deadly Intent: Crime and Punishment is divided into four sections, Crime Scenes, Police Action, Punishment and Executions. The compilation of crime scenes gives readers a forensic view, offering entire series of images used by detectives and criminologists from 1890 to 1950. 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, to executions: hanging, firing squads, and the electric chair.
