Capital punishment, also referred to as the death penalty, is the judicially ordered execution of a prisoner as a punishment for a serious crime, often called a capital offence or a capital crime. In those jurisdictions that practice capital punishment, its use is usually restricted to a small number of criminal offences, principally, treason and murder, that is, the deliberate premeditated killing of another person.

Capital punishment is punishment for a crime by death, which is frequently referred to as the death penalty. Today, most countries have abolished the death penalty. America is one of the few countries that has kept this form cruel and inhumane form of punishment. In American history, the death penalty was abolished, but it was brought back not long afterwards.

Many people see it as such a vital asset to some countries, so it has emerged as an extremely big business that brings in a boatload of money.

Persons found guilty of committing the crime of kidnapping risk being imprisoned or heavily find. Additionally, during a kidnap some other offense might occur such as assault and battery. False Imprisonment and Kidnapping are comparative terms but unmistakable as per their legal definitions. While both include persuasively taking an individual away without his consent, false imprisonment is more correctly used in particular cases where a person is confined in a bounded place and denied his or her freedom. Kidnapping is a broader term and includes the unlawful taking of an individual without his consent using threats, deceit, or force with an end goal of confining him or her (Robbins, 2014).
Capital punishment should be re-introduced, and should only be used for crimes that are committed by people whose intention was just to kill people for entertainment, cannibalism or to spread terror. There are lots of advantages if capital punishment is carried out correctly: There is no possibility for them to commit another crime, it acts as a deterrent for others who do/may do that crime, saves us (tax-payers) lots of money as they don’t get kept in jail for their entire life, it may make the victim’s family feel better and it acts like a revenge for the victim’s family.

Human trafficking is a transitional crime, a crime that takes place across the borders of two or more countries. Human trafficking can occur anywhere in the world and it crosses borders.
