About Me

Death Penalty Focus Website

Join a DPF Chapter!

Death Penalty Focus is a non-profit organization dedicated to the abolition of capital punishment through grassroots organizing, research, and the dissemination of information about the death penalty and its alternatives.

We believe:

    that the death penalty is an ineffective and simplistic response to the serious and complex problem of violent crime. Diverting attention and financial resources away from the death penalty and towards preventative measures would actually increase personal safety. the United States should join the growing community of nations throughout the world who have already abolished capital punishment.
