how many women are on death row in the United States?
368342
I dont think its that high, I think its probably less than 50. You probably wont find a very accurate figure out there for something like that.

' condemned to dead ' ?! I thought the whole planet was. Capital punishment statistics. Look under that on the net.

In the United States, one in 3 women will be raped in her lifetime, many as teenagers.  http://www.coolnurse.com/today_at_cn.htm\nAccording to the US Dept. of Justice:\nsomeone in America is raped every 2 minutes. \n2/3 of rape victims are under the age of 18. \n29% of female victims reported that they were attacked by a stranger, which means that about 70% of female victims knew their attacker. \nWomen annually report about 500,000 rapes.  http://www.teenhealthfx.com/answers/Emotional/4127.html

Gallup published results of a death penalty poll in November 2004. Included are breakdowns by a variety of categories, including political affiliations, religious affiliations gender, and race. To answer your question, results showed 49% of African-Americans surveyed are opposed to the death penalty; 44% in support, 7% "no opinion"\n\nThis is as opposed to the statistics for white people: 71% for, 24% against, 5% no opinion.\n\nThe results are aggregate for years 2001 to 2004, and can be found here: http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?scid=23&did=1266

ZERO.  And allow me to say that I am really surprised at the ignorance about this.  If anyone would care to look it up, this was yet, another horrible thing that was forced upon the true Native Americans (Cherokee) by Andrew Jackson with the so called Indian Removal Act.  4,000 men, women and children died.  This was a forced death march from the East all the way into Oklahoma.  Some managed to escape but most did not.  This story breaks my heart.

According to what I found, Pennsylvania has 1,801.\n\nThis is based on the National Vital Statistics Report, Vol. 52, No. 22, June 10, 2004 - National Center for Health statistics, and a report of established funeral homes taken from 2003 figures quoted in "Funeral Service Insider," a trade publication. FSI cites the 2003 "Red Book," a national directory of morticians, as its source for the number of funeral homes by state.\n\nIt is likely that the figures for the number of existing funeral homes are approximate only. I have included a pretty good resource as well if you are interested.

I think its sick.No matter what the person did to deserve it.I think its shameful that America actively participates in it when we are one of the only countries that does.Abortion is so called murder but they actually strap someone down and kill them with the death penalty. I don't understand how some one can justify the death penalty but in the same breath speak of how cruel and horrible abortion is.I think until the legal system and investigations into the crime are completely fool-proof and without any error then I think it should not be carried out. How many people are innocent and become imprisoned?

It is hard to say definitively that an innocent person has been put to death, but according to the report below, there have been 6 people executed since the reinstitution of the death peanly who were likely innocent and many more who were probably innocent.

NO! Not only is it a barbaric form of revenge, it's biased punishment.  How many rich, white Americans have received the death penalty for the same type of crime that poor or  non-white Americans have been put to death for?

In England, we do, in fact, have the Death penalty. But this is little known about. I am led to believe that the only 2 crimes which still carry this penalty however, are:\n1: Piracy on the High Seas (High Seas being out into international waters) and\n2: Setting fire to her majectys dock yards.\n\nI'm pretty sure no one has been found guilty for these for a while, but I'd quite like myself to see some more added back to the list, especially now we have good DNA evidence etc ...

Data for 2005 has not been released and manslaughter is not separated from murder, nor is negligent manslaughter reported at all or the number of people versus the number of manslaughters. In 2004, there were 1,359 murders and non-negligent manslaughters in Texas.
