Problem: The death penalty, sometimes known as capital punishment, is a state-sanctioned practice of murdering someone as a punishment for a crime. A death sentence is a sentence that directs a criminal to be punished in this manner, and an execution is the act of carrying out that sentence. The term "death row" refers to a prisoner who has been sentenced to death and is currently awaiting execution. Capital crimes, capital offences, or capital felonies vary by jurisdiction, but commonly include serious crimes against the person, such as murder, mass murder, aggravated rape (often including child sexual abuse), terrorism, aircraft hijacking, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, as well as crimes against the state, such as attempting to overthrow the government, treason, espionage, and sabotage. Recidivism, aggravated robbery, and kidnapping, in addition to drug trafficking, drug dealing, and drug possession, are all considered capital crimes or enhancements in some situations.
