Treason. For example, if you expose the identity of an undercover CIA operative to the enemy during a time of war, thus aiding and abetting the enemy...thats treason, and you can and should be shot for it.

In almost all states that perform executions, the death penalty is limited to cases involving aggravated murder.
However, there is a growing number of states that also allow the execution of convicted child molesters. As of early 2006, these included Florida, Louisiana and Montana. On 2006-JUN-09, Governor Brad Henry of Oklahoma signed a bill into law that permits the death penalty for anyone convicted of a second or subsequent rape, forcible sodomy, lewd molestation or rape by instrumentation of a child under 14 years of age. The governor of South Carolina signed a similar bill on the previous day. 9
Fortunately, none of the adults who were convicted of multi-victim, multi-offender (MVMO) sexual crimes against children in day care centers, by sexual molestation rings, etc. during the 1980s and early 1990s were executed. It appears that all or almost all were based on implanted memories and did not actually happen

The law of the specific state or country determines. Usually murder is the only offense, if any, that carries the death penalty. This is the case in the U.S.

Depends on ya State, in NY once rape was punishable by death but that was a long time ago! Other states had same laws kidnapping was too! Depending on who you kidnapped; like if you got a child I think it was then! Now very few states have the death penalty still on the books!

In the US: Hiring a hitman. Maybe also drug-kings but not for sure..
One case: Johnny Ross (Louisiana, Convicted 1975, Released 1981) Sentenced to death for rape. He was released when his blood type was found to be inconsistent with that of the rapist's.

The death penalty should be illegal except in extreme cases.
