Death Penalty Map











Found this map today and was shocked and appalled at how many countries still use the death penalty.... Aesthetically, I also found it interesting that information graphics (maps, diagrams etc.) by nature are quite passive and non-expressive - the message is serious and aggressive yet the map is visually placid and nonpolitical - I found this juxtaposition quite compelling.
