The death penalty, or capital punishment, is the state-enacted execution of a person as punishment for a capital crime. Historically, this form of punishment was used in almost every part of the world. But as we evolve in our ethics and recognize the flaws in our justice systems, more and more nations have abolished state executions and reformed their legal systems. However, out of almost 200 countries on Earth, 54 still enforce the death penalty.
