2016 Year End Report

Discussions With DPI

DPIC Executive Director Robert Dunham and Director of Research and Special Projects Robin Konrad dis­cuss the find­ings and themes of the 2016 DPIC Year End Report. This year marked his­toric lows in death sen­tences, exe­cu­tions, and pub­lic sup­port for the death penal­ty. They explore the rea­sons for the declines, look at what this year’s elec­tion results say about the death penal­ty, and describe the cas­es that result­ed in exe­cu­tions this year.
