Capital punishment

The death penalty is a very important and controversial topic in the world, so it is extremely important to investigate and learn about the damage it causes to humanity and we also realize the reasons why the state believes some people deserve the death penalty, of course today is in many countries to seek other less drastic is why the percentage of practitioners countries has decreasedsignificantly which puts the world in a struggle over who supports such a punishment and that seems an abuse of power.
