This series is an extensive collection of clippings on the death penalty worldwide. Halperin sent copies of these clippings to other AIUSA members on a regular basis. Articles in this series predominantly focus on specific United States death penalty cases and appeals, and related political cartoons are also included. Debates about the death penalty in the United States comprise another large portion of articles. Topics such as broadcast of executions, gas chamber vs. lethal injection, and seeking the death penalty for minors and the mentally ill are addressed. This series also contains articles about international forms of capital punishment. Events such as the execution of Ceausescu in Romania, the slaughter of children in Brazil, torture in Kenya, and the Pinochet regime in Chile are included. Files are arranged chronologically by month and year.
