This is a summary of the empirical data and scientific studies of capital punishment in North Carolina, with a link to the full report. The author outlines five important realities of the death penalty in North Carolina: 1) Capital punishment is extremely rare in North Carolina; 2) Executions in North Carolina are not a greater deterrent to murder than alternative sanctions such as life imprisonment; 3) Capital punishment in North Carolina is more expensive than other major punishments including life imprisonment; 4) Capital punishment in North Carolina is characterized by serious disparities based on extra-legal factors such as race and gender; and 5) Innocent people are wrongly convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death in North Carolina. The goal of the project is to provide this information to policy-makers in the state, as well as the public.
