Well the death penalty countries are lower as the people don't want to dye for a crime so.
Actually, opinions on this vary. But the tendency, nowadays, is that a majority of people think that the death penalty is uncivilized. Some arguments against the death penalty is that it is used disproportionately against ethnic minorities (for example, black people in the United States), and that it is irreversible (and there have been many cases where people executed, or people who were planned to be executed, turned out to be innocent). For further arguments, both for and against the death penalty, I suggest you consult the Wikipedia article on "Death penalty".
Since 1976, a total of one thousand, three hundred and eighty-six people have been executed as a result of the death penalty in the United States. The records prior to 1976 are spotty enough to require extended verification.
