DPIC’s Report on Costs and Police Views Subject of Bob Edwards Interview

The Bob Edwards on Sirius XM Radio recent­ly explored the high costs of the death penal­ty and the views of the coun­try’s police chiefs as dis­cussed in DPIC’s lat­est report, ​“Smart on Crime: Reconsidering the Death Penalty in a Time of Economic Crisis.” Edwards is the for­mer host of National Public Radio’s ​“Morning Edition.” He inter­viewed DPIC’s Executive Director Richard Dieter on October 20. An excerpt of the con­ver­sa­tion focus­ing on the nation­al poll of police chiefs and their opin­ions about the fail­ure of the death penal­ty as a crime fight­ing tool is avail­able here.
