註釋Art generally imitates life. This book highlights how the death penalty and murder have influenced toy making, pop culture, art, and music. It also addresses issues of equality and injustice involved in death sentencing. Many toys and dolls are illustrated and discussed, including those representing royalty, famous trials and murderers. Included are a brief guide for reading legal cases, an actual United States Supreme Court case, and a brief history of capital punishment theories, exercises and more. Librarians, historians, legal practitioners, museum curators, law professors, criminologists, doll and toy collectors and students alike will find this book useful. Given how often capital punishment appears in everyday life, general readers will find it interesting and engaging.
