Series X: Death Penalty, 1978-1984

This series contains a wide variety of information about AIUSA's efforts to abolish the end death penalty. Most relate to the United States, but there is some material on other countries. It includes meeting notes and plans of action, suggestions for writing to state officials on the death penalty, research material such as clippings and lists of past executions, and reports on the use of the death penalty in the US and other countries, among many others. There is much information from conferences and meetings, as well as mailings encouraging local groups to select a death penalty coordinator and take up the cause.
