Abstract
Death Penalty Worldwide aims to bridge critical gaps in research and advocacy around the death penalty. The database on this Website provides information on the laws and practices related to the application of the death penalty for every country in the world that retains capital punishment and is designed to meet the needs of judges, policymakers, scholars, lawyers, journalists, and human rights advocates for comprehensive information of the death penalty. Also, it engages in targeted advocacy focusing on protecting the rights of those who come into conflict with the law, including juveniles, women, and individuals with intellectual disabilities and mental illnesses. Death Penalty Worldwide (DPW) was founded in April 2011 by Professor Sandra Babcock, Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the International Human Rights Clinic at Cornell University Law School, in partnership with the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty.
