Historically, the death penalty was often public and carried out through methods such as hanging, beheading, or burning at the stake, reflecting the societal norms and values of the time. It served both as punishment and a deterrent, with executions frequently attended by large crowds. Legal systems varied widely, with some societies implementing it for a broad range of offenses, while others reserved it for the most serious crimes. Over time, attitudes shifted, leading to debates about its morality and effectiveness, resulting in its abolition in many countries.
