"A 2023 poll by Research Co. found that 54 percent of Canadians support reinstating the death penalty for murder in their country. In April 2021 a poll found that 54% of Britons said they would support reinstating the death penalty for those convicted of terrorism in the UK. About a quarter (23%) of respondents said they would be opposed. In 2020, an Ipsos/Sopra Steria survey showed that 55% of the French people support re-introduction of the death penalty; this was an increase from 44% in 2019."

Small word edits, mainly to keep this easy to read or consistent.

In "Public Executions"The last formal public executions occurred in 1868 in Britain, in 1936 in the U.S. and in 1939 in France.

Possible expand the information to include instances of these public executions. For example France ended formal Public executions due the unruly crowd delaying the execution and causing a massive disturbance. As a result, the French President immediately banned public executions the following day.

Mentioned in another Wikipedia article - Guillotine but with no citation.

Possible citation, but not the best. Maybe find the direct publication by Paris-Soir?
