About Capital Punishment
Capital punishment - also known as 'execution' or 'the death penalty' - is the infliction of death upon a person by the state as a punishment for an offense. Historically, capital punishment has been practiced in virtually every society. Currently, only 58 nations actively practice it, while 95 have formally abolished it. The remainder have not used it for at least 10 years. In the United States, 34 states still allow the use of the death penalty, as does the federal government.
