This statement is debatable. There are people who believe that America has a subculture of violence and that we glorify guns and are therefore more likely to use the death penalty. Compared to Europe who has abolished the death penalty and many believe they value human rights more than people in America. There is also a Southern Exceptionalism in which people in the south believe in and use the death penalty more because of its history of racial discrimination and it's subculture of violence.
