The Death Penalty Information Center is the preeminent clearinghouse for resources on capital punishment and related issues. With millions of visitors each year, our website is an essential resource for attorneys, students, journalists and members of the general public seeking information about the death penalty. We are a nationally respected and widely quoted source of death penalty analysis for the criminal justice community and the media, putting us in a unique position to inform and shape the national discussion on this critical issue. We have prepared more than 20 special reports, some at the request of Congress, on issues including innocence, race, arbitrariness, and costs.
