                Abstract

                Presents characteristics of persons under sentence of death on December 31, 2006, and of
                persons executed in 2006 from the NPS-8 data collection. Tables present state-by-state
                information on the movement of prisoners into and out of death sentence status during 2006,
                status of capital statutes, and methods of execution. Numerical tables also summarize data on
                offenders' sex, race, Hispanic origin, age at time of arrest for capital offense, legal status at time
                of capital offense, and time between imposition of death sentence and execution.

                The tables are based on those presented in Capital Punishment, 2005with the following
                change: table 3, which reported information on minimum age authorized for capital punishment,
                has been discontinued and replaced with a table summarizing Federal laws providing for the
                death penalty (formerly Appendix Table 1).
