DPIC is pleased to announce the addi­tion of five more states to one of our lat­est resources, the State Information Pages. Adding to the orig­i­nal 15 state pages made avail­able ear­li­er, pages for Alaska, Kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Wisconsin may now be accessed as well. These pages pro­vide his­tor­i­cal and cur­rent infor­ma­tion on the death penal­ty for each state (regard­less of whether it cur­rent­ly has the death penal­ty), includ­ing famous cas­es, past leg­isla­tive actions, and impor­tant links to key orga­ni­za­tions. For fre­quent­ly-updat­ed infor­ma­tion, such as exe­cu­tion totals, the size of death row, and mur­der rates, see our state-by-state data­base. More pages will be made avail­able soon. You can reach the State Information Pages through the ​“State by State” but­ton at the top of every page on our web­site or under the ​“Resources” tab in our main menu.

(DPIC, August 11, 2011). Much of the infor­ma­tion for these pages has been pro­vid­ed by indi­vid­u­als and orga­ni­za­tions work­ing on the death penal­ty in each state, and we wel­come fur­ther input. Thanks to those who helped make this new resource pos­si­ble. For links to some of DPIC’s oth­er new resources, see our Special Resources page.
