Previous research in the social origins of death penalty abolition law identifies the sensitizing concepts of <italic>structural foundations</italic> and <italic>triggering events</italic> to explain how and why some states have death penalty statutes and others do not have death penalty laws. This case study adds to the previous analytical model the concept of <italic>cultural dispositions</italic>. <italic>Cultural dispositions</italic> historically mediate and influence the social construction of crime control policies such as the death penalty. In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court in its <italic>Furman v Georgia</italic> decision banned the use of capital punishment in the United States. Unlike most American states, Wisconsin abolished the death penalty in 1853 and did not rush to enact new death penalty statutes after the Furman decision. This case study examines Wisconsin's legislative experience with death penalty politics during the period of three legislative sessions beginning in 1991 and ending in 1995. Investigation of Wisconsin's <italic>structural foundations, cultural dispositions</italic>, and <italic>triggering events </italic> reveal that legislative efforts to reinstate capital punishment during this period consistently failed. Results of this study demonstrate that maintenance of death penalty abolition in Wisconsin is the result of the legislature's 146-year history of routinely preserving abolition law and thus routinely rejecting death penalty reinstatement efforts.
