In my view, no (although I've never been a victim of a capital crime); capital punishment is about revenge, and revenge never bring peace.Another view.Many people believe capital punishment is the ultimate legal sanction and many people find comfort and closure through it. Capital punishment has nothing to do with revenge.

Capital punishment has ended in most civilized countries. Previously eye witness and fingerprint evaluation provided the basis for most capital punishment. After DNA evidence became available, it showed that many people facing death were actually innocent. For years the government had been executing innocent people. As a result, a number of places ended capital punishment.
The United Kingdom is a civilised country, we abolished capital punishment many years ago.

If you're asking about Judaism, the answer is because the Sanhedrin was unable to maintain the required level of superlative expertise, scholarship and clearheadedness, due to the Roman persecutions.
Technically the United States Constitution does not go against capital punishment per se. The Constitution prevents people from receiving cruel and unusual punishment. As far as the death penalty goes it is debated by many if it in fact is cruel and unusual. It can be argued that it is cruel and unusual because the system is biased so that more African Americans and more people will be executed.
At one time capital punishment was meted out for what we would now consider trivial or at best worth a stern warning. In countries with a stable and fair judicial system capital punishment is usually only given for what is seen as the most horrific crimes such as premeditated murder. Many countries have outlawed capital punishment completely, others still retain it for crimes which that country has decided are reprehensible, and these vary widely. It you travel abroad it best to be informed of the local laws and punishments.
