Statistics



This is the break down on what states use the death penalty and are also how many they perform. This also shows you the number of different ways they have preformed to kill the criminal.







As you can see the numbers have gone down in the use of the death penalty. The more recent numbers show that it is back on a rise.


These numbers have dropped due to the states not wanting to hold the trail for the death penalty and a lot of times it is just easier for the government to put them in jail for life so there is not so much hype or coverage on the story.

  2. Please make an announcement to the class (both) that everyone should try to comment on everyone elses. They should scroll through the topics listed in my comments and start with the most interesting to them. Also, remind everyone that I require an image from the stats (like you did) in the rubric. Please announce this. I have to miss class again (my daughter needs to have some tests done). Thank you!
