Historically, hanging was used as a punishment for a range of serious crimes, often referred to as capital offenses. These included murder, treason, robbery, rape, and certain forms of arson. The specific crimes warranting the death penalty varied significantly by jurisdiction and time period, reflecting societal norms and legal standards. Today, hanging is still practiced in a few countries, primarily for severe offenses like murder and terrorism.
