ALBANY – With a topic as emotionally charged as capital punishment, objective analysis often yields to hyperbole. But a group of scholars centered at the State University at Albany is attempting to take a purely rational, strictly academic look at one of the most vexing of all criminal justice debates.

The Capital Punishment Research Initiative (CPRI) was established as a national center to coordinate research on the death penalty. CPRI has already established the National Death Penalty Archives at Albany (see http://library.albany.edu/speccoll/), and it has hopes of becoming a nationwide repository of historical records. Its files are open to policy makers, courts, attorneys and other researchers.
