Finally (I ran over the character limit), it is highly questionable whether the death penalty acts as a deterrent - certainly, the improvement in deterrent effect over Full-Life sentencing is negligible. Moreover, given that executions are held behind closed doors, with photographs of the execution supressed and the whole affair conducted in a bureaucratic fashion, the original idea of execution as a spectacle and, as such, of the deterrence rationale is redundant.
-
@warpedcomedy Prove that it does. The death penalty exists for 3 reasons - incapacitation, retribution and deterrence. Full life sentencing handles incapacitation in a more effective manner than Capital Punishment (being significantly more likely to be passed by a jury.) Given that the method of execution must be quick, painless and efficient (at least, theoretically) the suffering of the prisoner will be minimal - otherwise, it is unconstitutional - and defeats the point of retribution.

It is, because these "more people dying" are monsters. Prove that it doesnt. We have 300 million people, way more than Europe, so there will be more crimes.
-
In america it doesn't. And more people dieing isn't ok because you cant them claim that killing is wrong because the government is doing it
-
When you say "more people die", this is one circumstance where it is okay, since they killed innocents. And some say it does deter crime.
-
but it doesn't stop crime so in a way more people die and it doesn't set an example
-
Innocent executions are preventable through reform, and they deserve it.
-
someone somewhere is always being executed for something they didn't do and at the end of the day capital punishment doesn't deter crime so why have it...may as well abolish it and look into rehabilitation and legal system reform
-
How is it beyond reform?

its beyond reform abolish it
