Death Penalty Information Center

The Death Penalty Information Center (DPI) is a nation­al non-prof­it orga­ni­za­tion pro­vid­ing the media, pol­i­cy­mak­ers, and the gen­er­al pub­lic with data and analy­sis on issues con­cern­ing cap­i­tal pun­ish­ment and the peo­ple it affects. For more than 30 years, DPI has been the pre­em­i­nent nation­al resource for time­ly and trust­wor­thy infor­ma­tion about the death penal­ty. DPI does not take a posi­tion on the death penal­ty itself but is crit­i­cal of prob­lems in its application.
