The US is in some bad company in that chart. The only first world countries on there are Japan and Taiwan.

For a place with a small population North Korea is way up there.
It's be interesting to see what crimes the committed in Nth Korea to justify execution - it appears one doesn't have to do something that would be regarded as particularly heinous anywhere else in the world. |

Wow - In El Salvador a first time drink driving offense warrants execution but they're a lot more lenient in Bulgaria - you have to be caught twice.

Are you recommending it for such?
I'd save it for telemarketers, myself.

The fear of a execution and life in prison is not going to stop many people from murdering illegally. We need a torture penalty.

A torture penalty was used against the slaves in the USA after a number of revolts. After a slave revolt in New York in 1712 one of the leaders was slowly fried to death on a large metal plate. The torture is said to have lasted ten hours. Another was broken at the wheel. That might suit your ideas, Mike. He was strapped to a wagon wheel and his legs and arms were systematically beaten with mallets. But they were careful not to hit his head or torso which might have quickened his end. The rest of the rebels were burnt at the stake.
How did that work out, Mike? Oh yes, the slaves kept revolting, emancipation was won, the blacks kept agitating, civil rights were won. Thankfully torture was not a deterrent. It has not been found to be a deterrent, except in the short term, anyplace.
