Hanging & Capital Punishment
The modern day understanding of hanging, at least in the context of capital punishment, is to suspend a person by a rope around their neck until life is extinguished. This wasn't always the case. Don't overreact but in the "good old days" capital punishments like crucifixion and impalement where the expired would remain suspended were also referred to as hanging.
The "good old days" are first referenced in Homer's the Odyssey (book XXII - you can see it wasn't just a modern tradition to pad out a book series for the paying public). Since that time the system has been used on both genders but most unequally with men being more likely to suffer this fate than women. The fact that men appear more inclined to commit capital offences may have more to do this this skewed statistic than any other reason.
In more moderns times the world community has been moving away from capital punishment in general and hanging in particular although it remains as a means of execution in some places today.
