Australia: Capital punishment has been formally abolished in Australia. It was last used in 1967, when Ronald Ryan was hanged in Victoria. Ryan was the last of 114 people executed in the 20th century and prior to his execution Queensland and New South Wales had already abolished the death penalty for murder. It was removed as a punishment for murder in all states by 1984 when the state of Western australia abolished the death penalty for all crimes, and the next year NSW removed death as a possible punishment.
Canada:The only method used in Canada for capital punishment in nonmilitary contexts was hanging. Before Canada eliminated the death penalty for murder on July 14, 1976, 1,481 people were sentenced to death, with 710 executed. Of those executed, 697 were men and 13 were women. The last execution in Canada was on December 11, 1962 at Toronto's Don Jail.
Italy: Afterwards the death penalty was definitively abolished in the Penal Code in 1889 with the almost unanimous approval of both Houses of Parliament under suggestion of Minister Zanardelli. This is because Italy is a catholic country and the death penalty is killing people. The catholic religion is not in favor of the death penalty.
I believe that capital punishment is a crude way of punishing people. As a catholic person I don't agree with this punishment and believe that they are many ohter good ways of punishing people. Killing people is a sin and youcould just give the person penal servitude for life.
