Victorian death penalties referred to the capital punishment practices during the Victorian era in Britain (1837-1901), a time marked by strict legal codes and moral attitudes. Crimes punishable by death included murder, treason, and certain forms of theft, reflecting the period's severe approach to crime and punishment. Executions were often public spectacles, intended to deter criminal behavior, but they increasingly faced criticism and calls for reform. The eventual decline of the death penalty in Britain began in the late Victorian period, leading to its abolition in the 20th century.
