History Capital punishment was widely applied in ancient times; it can be found (c.1750 B.C. ) in the Code of Hammurabi. From the fall of Rome to the beginnings of the modern era, capital punishment was practiced throughout Western Europe. The modern movement for the abolition of capital punishment began in the 18th cent. with the writings of Montesquieu and Voltaire, as well as Cesare Beccaria 's Essay on Crimes and Punishments (1764). In Great Britain, Jeremy Bentham was influential in having the number of capital crimes reduced in the 18th and 19th cent. Some of the first countries to abolish capital punishment included Venezuela (1863), San Marino (1865), and Costa Rica (1877). Current International Practice As of 2004, 81 countries had entirely abolished the death penalty, including the members of the European Union.

Among countries that retained the death penalty for ordinary crimes were many in the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia. The United States and China were believed to impose capital punishment most frequently.

INTRODUCTION The American people have been executing their children in the pursuit of justice for more than three and one half centuries, beginning with the earliest days of Plymouth Colony. The most recent executions of juvenile offenders, as of this writing, occurred in April and May of 1998. This centuries-old system of death for children's crimes has always had major flaws, and the post-1972 modern era is little better. However, it was not until the last decade that American courts and scholars stumbled across this odd subtopic within the death penalty system. Now after fifteen years of debating, legislating, and deciding cases about the death penalty for offenders who commit crimes while [*pg 56] under age eighteen, the American Bar Association ("ABA") has included the juvenile death penalty in its call for a moratorium on the death penalty process as it now operates. This article provides a sketch of the sentences and actual executions in the juvenile death penalty system for the past quarter-century, as well as a brief reference to similar cases in other countries. It also provides an overview of the current law governing this practice, ranging from constitutional rulings by the United States Supreme Court to express minimum ages in death penalty statutes. Finally, it suggests some rationale for a moratorium on this practice. Two appendices list all juvenile death sentences that have been imposed and all juvenile offenders currently on death row.
