Law 6206 Capital Punishment Seminar (Metze)

The Death Penalty Information Center (DPI) is a nation­al non-prof­it orga­ni­za­tion whose mis­sion is to serve the media, pol­i­cy­mak­ers, and the gen­er­al pub­lic with data and analy­sis on issues con­cern­ing cap­i­tal pun­ish­ment and the peo­ple it affects. DPI does not take a posi­tion on the death penal­ty itself but is crit­i­cal of prob­lems in its application.

Created by the National Center for State Courts (NCSC), this document compiles resources that discuss the facts, perspectives, supreme court cases, and other arguments focused on discussing capital punishment.

The organization works to raise awareness about the injustice and irreversible nature of executions, particularly in cases involving wrongful convictions or unfair trials. Through research, advocacy, and global mobilization, Amnesty seeks to create legal and societal change to end the use of the death penalty.

This organization advocates for the end of the death penalty, highlighting issues such as racial bias, wrongful convictions, and the lack of fair trials. Using litigation, advocacy, and public education, the ACLU works to abolish capital punishment in the United States
