Death Penalties - Does It Deter Crime?
The steady drumbeat of DNA exonerations — pointing out flaws in the justice system — has weighed against capital punishment. The moral opposition is loud, too, echoed in Europe and the rest of the industrialized world, where all but a few countries banned executions years ago.

Exen though there is a death penalty people still commit crimes and think they can beat the death penalty. The age of criminals are getting younger too and they don't seem to be worried either.

That is true Pie! They seem to get younger and younger! Some gangs I hear use killing as a rite of passage to join and establish themselves amongst the group. A travesty!

No, the death penalty does not deter crime.

Crime in general? No, it does not. Deter crimes for which the death penalty is handed down? It'd make me think twice.

NO repeat offenders. For murder and rape time for the dirt nap. There will be much less of those crimes if the death penalty was strictly enforced on these two crimes !!!!! Murder 1 and aggravated rape should be in the public square and on the front page. Yep tall tree and short rope.

If you understand that the death penalty isn't an effective crime deterent, and that it is in fact only effective on rational people who have something to lose. Why then are you UNable to use that same logic when talking about more guns on the street reducing the crime rate and realize that the rational individual, the only one who will be swayed by this proposed concept, IS NOT the one holding up stores at gunpoint or shooting up the local high school. Your proposal may reduce the number of causalities in a given crime, but it in no way shape or form will prevent the irrational person from committing his or her crime because the risk already exists that someone at the scene may be caring a gun of their own. and for the record, I'm still pro-death penalty, and I'm still pro-gun, I'm just arguing the propaganda often used to support those concepts instead of just saying all adult Americans have a Constitutional right to bare arms and murderers shouldn't be allowed to walk the streets.
