In the course of its research, DPIC col­lects rel­e­vant death penal­ty arti­cles that have appeared in print and on media Web sites. Our col­lec­tion cer­tain­ly does not con­tain all such arti­cles, nor do we claim that it rep­re­sents the best” arti­cles. It is only a rep­re­sen­ta­tive sam­ple of the exten­sive cov­er­age giv­en to cap­i­tal pun­ish­ment in print in a par­tic­u­lar year. For those inter­est­ed in exam­in­ing this cov­er­age, we have pre­pared index­es of the arti­cles in PDF for­mat for 2004 to 2007, and an Excel spread­sheet for 2008. Note that we are not post­ing the actu­al text of the arti­cles. The index­es alone are very long.

Due to the length of the index, we have list­ed the main cat­e­gories below in alpha­bet­i­cal order for easy ref­er­ence. Prior to 2008, the index­es is also arranged accord­ing to these cat­e­gories and chrono­log­i­cal­ly with­in each cat­e­go­ry. Each article’s entry pri­or to 2008 gives its source, date (year-month-day), author, title and the cat­e­go­ry of the main sub­ject dis­cussed, while the cat­e­go­ry is omit­ted in 2008. Some arti­cles appear in more than one cat­e­go­ry. To go direct­ly to the index, click the one of the links below.
