Use of capital punishment by nation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Use of capital punishment by nation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At one time capital punishment was used in almost every part of the globe, but over the last few decades many countries have abolished it. Amnesty International classifies countries in four categories. 69 countries still maintain the death penalty in both law and practice. 89 countries have abolished it completely; 10 retain it, but only for crimes committed in exceptional circumstances (such as crimes committed in time of war). 29 other countries maintain laws permitting the use of the death penalty for ordinary crimes, but have allowed the death penalty to fall into disuse for at least 10 years. Finally, it is not unknown for countries to practice extrajudicial execution sporadically or systematically outside their own formal legal frameworks. This list includes several unrecognized states with de facto control over their territory.

Although legally a punishment of several crimes, it has not been applied for any crime other than murder or conspiracy to murder since 1964. It is now only used in cases of murder accompanied by previously identified special circumstances (e.g., murder and rape, murder and kidnapping, etc.) Some states also provide it for some cases of sexual assault especially sex crimes against children (i.e. statutory rape, sexual assault against a minor). Federal law provides the death penalty for trafficking large quantities of drugs[130]. Sentences of death must be handed down by a jury, not by a judge alone; the jury must hand down the sentence at the conclusion of a separate penalty phase of the trial (at least implying the jurors who sentence the person to death were the same jurors who convicted him or her of the crime). As of 2007, capital punishment has been abolished or found unconstitutional in 12+ states. For more information see Capital punishment in the United States.
