The Death Penalty Worldwide

I found the interesting web site which is called
“infoplease”.
It shows how many countries ban death
penalty and how many countries permit it. It also show when death penalty was
outlawed in each country. The web page
was updated at least in 2012.
I was surprised that there are a lot of
European and Asian countries which outlaw death penalty.
I was also really surprised that the number
of the countries which ban death penalty is larger than the number of the
countries which permit death penalty.
I thought the countries which permit death
penalty was a majority but it is not true.

返信削除I took a look at the website and I was surprised!
返信削除There are so many countries that allow death penalty.
It's especially surprising how many countries eliminated the death penalty rather recently, since the 1990s, for example. It's sad that the death penalty was extended to "ordinary crimes" (other than murder) in some countries -- and, in some cases, that's still happening. Homosexuality is punishable by death in certain countries, and it's outlawed in even more.

I also thought that death penalty was majority, so this information was quite useful.
