    This document provides an overview of the death penalty, including its definition, history, use around the world particularly in the USA and Iran, issues of discrimination, pros and cons, and conclusions. It discusses how the death penalty originated in the 18th century BC and was typically carried out by hanging. While some countries and US states still use the death penalty, it is considered a violation of human rights by some. There are arguments that it provides closure for families but risks executing innocent people.
