Government Agencies
Two types of departments are primarily involved in the bringing about of the death penalty, those being the states' Departments of Corrections and the United States Department of Justice.
In recent history, the Department of Justice has had little influence on policy regarding capital punishment. Its job has evolved to include more carrying out the law and less creating it.
