35 nations have abolished death penalty de facto (have not used it for at least ten years ).
death penalty in law no death penalty for all crime
no death penalty except special situation like war no death penalty in fact(not in law)
58 nations actively practice capital punishment. 98 countries have abolished capital punishment de jure for all crimes.
7 countries have abolished death penalty for ordinary crimes(maintain it for special situation like war).
To my way of thinking:
• A population(China,India,Japan) of 300 million in US,preventing serious crime; • Popular support(mentioned before) to the capital punishment; • The cost(compared to the life imprisonment,death penalty cost fewer)
So,how do you explain the phenomenon?

public opinion about death penalty
Public opinion plays a big role in the American politics thus it role has been one of the most important factors that affect the death penalty.
