The death penalty is the killing of a person by judicial process as a punishment for an offense. Crimes that can result in a death penalty are known as capital crimes or capital offences.
In Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, and Western Europe, the death penalty has become relatively unpopular, with the majority of the population opposing it.The United States is a notable exception:some states have had bans on capital punishment for decades (the earliest is Michigan, where it was abolished in 1847), while others actively use it today.
However certain cases of mass murder, terrorism, and child murder occasionally cause waves of support for reinstitution.My dear friends,do you think that should the death penalty be abolished?What's your oppinion?
