The execution of a person by the state as retribution for a capital offense is known as the death penalty, or capital punishment. This type of discipline has historically been applied practically everywhere in the world. However, as our morality and awareness of the shortcomings in our legal systems grow, an increasing number of countries have outlawed capital punishment or changed their legal frameworks. Nonetheless, 53 of the over 200 nations on Earth continue to uphold the death sentence.
