This study reassesses the criminal body from sentencing to execution and afterlife, using the nineteenth-century Red Barn murder as a case study. Positioned within the burgeoning field of medical humanities, it places culture and power at the centre of debates surrounding criminal justice and public punishment.

Shane McCorristine is a Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Leicester and a College Lecturer in Geography at the University of Cambridge, UK.
