Title: Smart on Crime: Reconsidering the Death Penalty in a Time of Economic Crisis: National Poll of Police Chiefs Puts Capital Punishment at Bottom of Law Enforcement Priorities: A Report
Summary: This report analyzes the costs of the death penalty as measured in various state studies. It examines why the death penalty is so expensive and why it may be impossible to cut those costs without endangering fundamental rights. The report looks closely at the opinions of law enforcement experts and finds little support for continuing to spend enormous sums on an ineffective program when so many other areas of need are being short changed.
