NEW RESOURCES: International Death Penalty Documentary

The International Academic Network for the Abolition of Capital Punishment has recently released "Still Killing," a documentary filmed during the International Colloquium on the Abolition or Moratoria of the Death Penalty (held at the Centre for Political and Constitutional Studies, Madrid, Spain) and the Fourth World Congress Against the Death Penalty (in Geneva). The film includes testimony and opinions of professors, researchers, and other experts on the death penalty. The film is intended to be a teaching and training resource, and is accompanied by a discussion guide and two additional DVDs that contain interviews that were the basis of the documentary.  The film was directed by Adan Nieto, Manuel Maroto and Marta Munoz.

NEW RESOURCES: DPIC's 2008 Article Index is Available

Each year, 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 an index of the articles from 2008 in Excel format. Note that we are not posting the actual text of the articles. The complete index is arranged chronologically and may be sorted or searched by the user after download. Each article’s entry gives its source, date, author, title and  publisher.  To go directly to the index, click here.
