Capital crimes are punishable by death. Murder of a Law Enforcement officer, murder in a particular gruesome or heinous nature. Murder during the commission of a crime etc.

It largely depends on the legislation of the country. What may be considered a 'capital' crime in one country may not be in another. There are many countries that have abolished capital punishment completely.
