Two recent law jour­nals fea­ture col­lec­tions of arti­cles on cap­i­tal pun­ish­ment. The University of Missouri-Kansas City Law Review focus­es on wrong­ful con­vic­tions. The Summer 2002 issue includes arti­cles on DNA evi­dence, Innocence Projects around the coun­try, and the role of jour­nal­ism in help­ing to rec­ti­fy wrong­ful con­vic­tions. (70 University of Missouri-Kansas City Law Review 797 (2002)). The sec­ond new resource is the Summer 2002 edi­tion of the Northwestern University School of Law’s Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology con­tain­ing an his­tor­i­cal look at cap­i­tal pun­ish­ment in Chicago. Through an exam­i­na­tion of a new data set on homi­cides, this sym­po­sium looks at issues such as judi­cial elec­tions and cap­i­tal pun­ish­ment, women and the death penal­ty, and life without parole.
