The report on punishments and executions in the criminal code
A summary of the committee report on capital punishment and teaching the effects of executions. It notes limited public benefit from public hangings, questions the harshness of alternative punishments, and argues for careful reform. It references Buxton and compares Russia Austria Tuscany and other codes, arguing some forms of confinement or mines are harsher than death but may be merciful in some cases. It urges cautious reform and retains death as a possible last resort with Christian considerations.
