THE JUVENILE DEATH PENALTY TODAY: DEATH SENTENCES AND EXECUTIONS FOR JUVENILE CRIMES, JANUARY 1, 1973 - JUNE 30, 2003 by Victor L. Streib Professor of Law The Claude W. Pettit College of Law Ohio Northern University Ada, Ohio 45810-1599 Telephone: (419) 772-2207 FAX: (419) 772-1875 E-mail: v-streib@onu.edu This report is available on the web at http://www.law.onu.edu/faculty/streib Latest corrections and changes entered on July 1, 2003. Victor L. Streib PREFACE This is the 66th issue of this periodic report, having first been launched on June 15, 1984. On that date, the death penalty for juvenile offenders was an obscure issue in law as well as in political and social arenas. These reports have been with us (1) through the intense litigation of the late 1980s, (2) through our society's near hysteria about violent juvenile crime in the 1990s, (3) into the era of the international pressure on the United States to abandon this practice, and (4) now into a revitalized movement to finally end this practice. The solitary goal of these reports is to collect in one place the best available data and information on the death penalty for juvenile offenders (defined as those under age 18 at the time of their crimes). It is left to other documents and to other organizations to argue about the pros and cons of this practice, with the hope that these data will inform those arguments and deliberations. Therefore, while a sketch of both pro and con rationales is provided, this report takes no position on the legality, wisdom, or morality of the death penalty for juvenile offenders. The author of these reports has been involved with this issue for over thirty years as a researcher and as an attorney. References to some of those involvements can be found in Appendix C to this report.

It is the ultimate cruel, inhuman, and degrading punishment. In , the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration, adopted without dissent, is a pledge among nations to promote fundamental rights as the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world. The Declaration proclaims each person's right to protection from deprivation of life, and it categorically states that no one shall be subjected to cruel or degrading punishment. The death penalty the pre-meditated and cold-blooded killing of prisoners in state custody violates both of these rights. In In In In , the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Aiming at the Abolition of the Death Penalty. It binds the states that are parties to it not to carry out executions and to abolish the death penalty.

Capital punishment From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Capital punishment , also referred to as the death penalty , is the judicially ordered execution of a prisoner as a punishment for a serious crime , often called a capital offence or a capital crime . In those jurisdictions that practice capital punishment, its use is usually restricted to a small number of criminal offences, principally, treason and murder , that is, the deliberate premeditated killing of another person. Prisoners who have been sentenced to death are usually kept segregated from other prisoners in a special part of the prison , pending their execution. In some places this segregated area is known as Death Row The term capital comes from the Indo-European kaput , meaning "head", through the Latin capitalis . Thus, capital punishment is the penalty for a crime so severe that it deserves decapitation (losing one's head).

AMERICA ON THE THRESHOLD OF SETTING A SHAMEFUL RECORD U.S. Should Ban Death Penalty for Juvenile Offenders By William G. Paul, President American Bar Association The United States stands at the threshold of a new millennium poised to execute a record number of young men who were juveniles when they committed their crimes. Three youths sentenced to death for crimes they committed when they were juveniles are scheduled for execution in January - two in Virginia and one in Texas. Seventy others reside on death rows in the United States These three executions for crimes committed by persons so young will set a record in the United States since the reinstatement of capital punishment in 1976, placing the United States with Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen as the only countries who have executed juvenile offenders in the past decade. Most other nations have banned the death penalty altogether for those whose crimes were committed when they were juveniles. International conventions that set the tone for humanity and civility in the world, such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, condemn execution of defendants for crimes committed before age 18.

Anyway: Welcome and enjoy the stay here. Niels Graverholt How would you react if somebody raped and murdered your child? I have often been asked this question by supporters of the death penalty, and my answer is: My first reaction would probably be a strong wish to cut the balls off the bastard, to tear him apart and kill him. But my next reaction would hopefully be gratitude for living in a constitutional state where the principle of personal revenge has been replaced by societies obligation to administer an appropriate punishment and give me the necessary support to get a decent life in spite of my loss.

Updated February 12, 2003 When did countries begin to abolish the death penalty? Capital punishment was widely applied in ancient times throughout the world. The modern movement for the abolition of capital punishment began in the 18th century with the writings of Montesquieu and Voltaire. Some of the first countries to abolish capital punishment included Venezuela (1863), San Marino (1865), and Costa Rica (1877). Today, over half the countries in the world have abolished the death penalty either by law or through practice. (Click to see map) Since 2000, Chile, Yugoslavia, Serbia, Montenegro and Turkey have joined the list of abolitionist countries. Most executions occur in a handful of countries: China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States. In Great Britain, it was abolished (except for cases of treason) in 1971; France abolished it in 1981. Canada abolished it in 1976. In 1977, the United Nations General Assembly affirmed in a formal resolution that throughout the world, it is desirable to "progressively restrict the number of offenses for which the death penalty might be imposed, with a view to the desirability of abolishing this punishment". What has been the recent history of capital punishment in the United States?

He notes that although the present pope is opposed to capital punishment, that the church itself has traditionally supported executions. He said: " No authority that I know of denies the 2,000-year-old tradition of the church approving capital punishment. I don't see why there's been a change. " At a meeting In Chicago on JAN-25, Scalia said, " In my view, the choice for the judge who believes the death penalty to be immoral is resignation rather than simply ignoring duly enacted constitutional laws and sabotaging the death penalty. " On FEB-4 in Georgetown, he commented that " any Catholic jurist [with such concerns] ... would have to resign. You couldn't function as a judge.
