Death Penalty

The death penalty is the execution of a convicted criminal by the government for crimes that are called capital crimes. The most obvious capital crime (crime punishable by death) in countries that have the death penalty is murder. Countries that use the death penalty use a range of methods for carrying out executions; this includes things like hanging lethal injection and in some countries firing squads. The countries that still use the death penalty are china, Iran, Pakistan, Sudan, use and others.
