County-Level Plots

Plots displaying county-level trends (US) for capital punishment. Like in the state plots, the y-axes of the first two plots are different races and the x-axes represent time. Each dot represents an execution that took place - the more solid the color is of bunched up dots, the more frequent or concentrated they are at that point (increase in frequency).

Notes on County Plots

The following points are in regards to the prior plots and what could be determined from them.

  • Counties for most states appear to ~ evenly distribute executions across the board

    • Texas is the one major outlier in regards to this, disproportionate number of executions taking place in a few counties
