By every measure, the death penalty declined again in 2015. A new report released today by the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) found:
There were fewer executions in 2015 than any year in the last two decades.
The number of death sentences in 2015 is down 33% from just last year, and down 84% from its 1996 peak.
Opposition to the death penalty is at its highest rate since before the U.S. Supreme Court suspended the death penalty in the 70’s, according to recent polls.
