答案 Capital Punishment Capital punishment, or death penalty, is legal action of death as a penalty for violating criminal law. For most of recorded history, capital punishment was available to every government for especially serious crimes and often for a great variety of less serious offenses. Despite its practice of long standing, the current trend in most industrialized nations has been to first stop executing prisoners and then to substitute long terms of imprisonment for death as the most severe of all criminal penalties. Capital punishment is a highly controversial and hotly contested issue with many groups and prominent individuals participating in the debate. Arguments for and against it are based on practical, moral and emotional approaches. Many public opinion polls indicate that capital punishment enjoys significant support, while opponents question whether a high level of support actually exists for the death penalty. They note that public-approval ratings of capital punishment decline when the alternative punishment is a life imprisonment.
