Well look.at the murder rates in states that have the death penalty as opposed to.those which dont would be the first thing to check.

Off the top of my head, I suspect that being caught and (correctly) tried would be a bigger deterrent.

i dont really understand the sentencing over there...have read about 125 year jail sentences, Seriously what is the point?
Surely just say life without parole.

Nope. It hasn't stopped the most terrible crimes still being committed. There's always gonna be psychopaths. Capital punishment should be scrapped, you can't take it back when you get it wrong

No people are too stupid too be deterred
Watch a programme like 48 or any American real life murder shows. They’re all just simpletons

What drives someone to murder ,emotion is in some case jealously anger.etc,psychopaths , money and others I would assume
Emotion and psychopaths there would no thought of any repercussions before the murder, so not an effective deterrent
To contemplate murdering someone for money, In this case I think it would be deterrent

Many are just stupid or do it in the heat of the moment or hate a certain kind of people. There are loads of reasons people do this. Thank christ most of us never are part if that circumstance.

People who commit crime focus on how they are going to get away with it, not what will happen if they're caught.
Deterrent works on the normals.....so therefore the risk of imprisonment is sufficient.

People who murder undertaking some sort of cost-benefit analysis. Hmm, I wonder.

Son of Sam, are you a teacher? If so, I'd like to be the first to say:
"Yeah, I always thought he was the sort that shouldn't be allowed near kids"
