Does the death penalty deter crime?
OF the people hanged, none of them were repeat offenders.
i bet it would if it were used more often
also this
>Does the death penalty deter crime?
Yes, when people are scared of dying for doing something, they tend to refrain from doing it.
Don’t care. Murders and rapists deserve it, whether it deters them or not.
Not when you can lawyer out of it with enough shekels, no.
No, but that's not the point. Victim's families deserve closure. That is the point.
A murder should not be permitted to define the future of an entire family. At some point it needs to end.
0% recidivism rate
Yeah, just think about the verdict of the faggot who got the death penalty!!!!! The jury thought that putting the guy in prison for life was too easy because he would have had a great time getting fucked in the ass so they gave him the death penalty.
It's more of a soft form of eugenics that was really popular back in ancient times. "Uncivilized" lineages would be gradually removed from society over time.
It doesn't matter if it does or if it doesn't, its necessary, many people need to be put to death but sadly aren't.
Meh. I think because people getting executed are so out of sight of the average criminal, that it doesn't have much effect.
We need public executions back. Televised or in the public square.
this, offenders must be executed in front of the public.
If you imagine it does not, I invite you to properly examine what percentage of all crimes--not only murder--are being committed by persons who have in fact been convicted of committing a crime before.
Raw math alone proves that if you kill more criminals you will have less crime.
I prefer keeping them alive. Living in a small concrete cell for a portion of your life time, or even the rest of it is a way more dreadful thought that knowing you are going to die.
and waste money on them ? no, just kill them, get rid of them, best solution to scum.
Not if you have a low IQ. Stupid people cant think 2 steps ahead.
it deters recidivism.
Not necesary a waste of money if you give them the awareness that they will be heavily punished and kept alive to suffer the consecuences until the last second of their penitence instead of just a quick swift death. That will make them think twice about their actions.
I always think that the best way to deal with terrorists is to terrorize the terrorist, make them think that there will be a fate worse than death for them if they keep with their plan.
Not the fucking slow-ass process and pussy lethal injection the current US system has it doesn't.
We need to bring back public hangings within 72 hours of the trial and let the criminals swing for a day before cutting them down.
No but criminals should be still executed by firing squad for lulz
No, it does not. This is a settled debate, and the facts are in. The death penalty does nothing to deter crime. Statistics demonstrate clearly that this is a blatant, irrefutable fact.
100% drop
No it encourages it
yes
duh
NO.. and supporters of it are going to hell because only God can take someone's life.
Why don't we just go back to hanging? It's quick, efficient, and cheap. Why are we spending money on drugs and shit when we could just use a rope again?

Only mongoloids would think dead penalty is a good thing my negro amigo
Giving someone the opportunity to turn their life around is the Christian way
A killer who is given the option to reform and do so will share the pain that the event bought to both partys, if he does not reform, the family will have the peace of knowing they forgiven the killer, and hold no grudge
I have loss some one dear to a killer here on mexico, and when i think about that i dont want to feel anger remembering my dear aunt
And even then we have to remember that someone could be framed for a crime, and a bigger crime would be to condemn
To dead someone for a sinn some other people did
obviously. But you need civilization.
North Korea is the example of steel boot civilized oppression with low street crime due to Judge Dredd justice system.
Ivory Coast and Africa don't have crime statistic because you need a civilization and bureaucracy to count the crimes. Lots of Africa is lawless. Can't have crime where there is no law. There is a death penalty on the street between thugs but the state ain't doing much of the executing.
Does death prevent war ?
Wrong. They won't commit the crime in the first place if they will hang for it.
Short answer: no
Long answer: no
I bet hasty public execution would. Start hanging people out in the open even for petty offenses like in the old days. Watch it plummet.
Given all of the decades of data from countries around the world, I'm sure you have a massive, undeniable pile of proof about this right?
I mean, it's not just your feelings right?
fuck yes. crime was low in my state until they fucking eliminated the death penalty. now my state has some of the worst crime in the country, top 6
how many death-penalty convicts come back to commit crime one more time ?
it would if it were harsher and faster
