A prominent example of civil death is the " Illegal Enemy Combatant " designation used by the United States government, which is sometimes argued to violate the Due Process rights of designated individuals. A second example of civil death on a wide scale is the use of Purges by the former Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin .

Many southern U.S. states disfranchise (deprive of suffrage) people convicted of a felony perpetually. This is alleged to target blacks as law enforcement have been disproportionately targeted against them.

Historically outlawry, that is, declaring a person as an Outlaw , was a common form of civil death.
