Lexington, MA, Lexington Books/D.C. Heath, 1974. Bowers, William J. Executions in America. Lexington, MA: Lexington Books/D.C. Heath and Company, [1974]. xxviii, 489, [2] pp. Hardcover, moderate shelfwear, shelf label to foot of spine, library markings to pastedowns. A good copy. $125. * Bowers provides an overview of capital punishment and its use in the United States from 1864 to 1967, supported by an inventory of more than 5,000 state-sanctioned executions during that period. He investigates the deterrent effect of the death penalty on crime, questioning whether it can be expected to reduce violent crime. The book examines evidence of differential treatment in sentencing based on race, focusing on the impact of the race of both the offender and the victim, particularly in rape cases.
