Death penalty debate sources

OK, here you go. These are some sites I could find quickly about the death penalty.

The Death Penalty Debate is a site which welcomes adherents of both sides to argue about the pros and cons of the death penalty. It includes a number of different sub-discussions and links to other sources of information.

The US government has official information about executions and the death penalty debate in the United States. This source is especially useful for clearing up misconceptions about the death penalty in the United States. it can be used profitably by either side of this debate.

The University of Alaska also has a neutral site which has links to other sites with positions on both sides of the debate. It is most useful for helping us to understand the issues involved as well as the positions of persons on both sides of the issue.


Cornell University has a brief overview
with links to more information.

Recent news about the death penalty can be found by searching Google News for information.

The most prominent opponent of the death penalty in the US is probably the American Civil Liberties Union.

Those who support the death penalty in the US also have sites that advance their points of view, focusing especially on the victims of crimes.

There is a Death Penalty Information Center.

Wikipedia has a long article with many links.

Amnesty International campaigns against the death penalty internationally.

Here's another pro page just for balance.

Please, everyone. Your first assignment is to find more sources and link to them for us here.
