I believe the only first world countries that currently have it are the US and Japan

You mean some states...Am I wrong?

As for Japan, yeah and they defend it strongly when they get scathed for that!

By the way, Japan has very low criminal rate, I wonder if it's because of it... I mean you don't want to risk your life by  commiting a crime, of course for a grave crime ( like murder or rape ) , I don't think you get executed, for example if  you steal jewelery, money e.t.c or burgling.

No, it's more of a cultural thing - considering that Texas and the likes have particularly high murder rates.
