Trump proposes to introduce the death penalty in Washington: what this will change.
According to inkorr.com: U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed his opinion on the advisability of introducing the death penalty for intentional murder in Washington. He believes that such a step is necessary for combating crime, although it may provoke controversial reactions in society. The president's proposal applies only to the federal district, while individual states have the right to decide the matter themselves.
The situation with the death penalty in the U.S.
As of today, the death penalty has not been applied in the District of Columbia since its cancellation by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1972 and the District Council's decision in 1981. Currently, 23 states and the District of Columbia have abolished this punishment, while 27 states, the federal government, and the U.S. armed forces continue to apply it.
Results in the fight against crime
Trump noted that his initiative aims to reduce crime rates. He reported that since August 7, there have been over 1,094 arrests in the capital. It is also important to note that during his first term, there were 13 federal executions, which set a record among modern American presidents.
