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)
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)
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.

Around 20 states with capital punishment rarely used the penalty.
Few states like Kansas did not execute anybody for decades. Some states like California have very few executing though many criminals was sentenced to death. Some 15 states do execute the death penalty pretty carefully. Almost all cases were executed only after legal fights usually lasting for a decade.
• Japan,one of the most advanced countries,keeps the death penalty so far.
India,one of the democratic countries,keep the death penalty as yet.
In western,almost all countries except America have abolished the capital punishment.
Gallup Poll(盖洛普民调)
In the America Recent years,fewer and fewer people support the capital punishment; More and more people disfavor it.
The Death Penalty in the world
This phenomenon is because of federalism and local self-government.
