Summary: Coming in at 7th place, the U.S. was ranked as one of the top executioners of the World. The U.S. dropped out of the top five global executioners for the first time in a decade. Execution methods worldwide in 2016 involved beheading, shooting, lethal injection and hanging. China was once again the world's top executioner. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Pakistan followed China to complete the top five countries that recorded the greatest number of executions. The number of countries carrying out executions has lowered in recent years."Countries all over the world are seeing that the death penalty doesn't work," Clark says.
Analysis: The fact that the U.S. is one of the top countries that executes its people is very disturbing. It's a clear violation of human rights to execute anyone. These practices should be terminated all over the world.
