Death Penalty Information Center Releases New Study on Cost of Death Penalty

The Death Penalty Information Center has released a study titled "Smart on Crime: Reconsidering the Death Penalty in a Time of Economic Crisis." According to the DPIC, "the report combines an analysis of the costs of the death penalty with a newly released national poll of police chiefs who put capital punishment at the bottom of their law enforcement priorities." The text of the study can be found at http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/.
