The Death Penalty DOES Deter Crime
WOW! They finally came up with a study which proves what I’ve been saying for decades: The death penalty deters crime. At the very least, those who pay with their lives for the murder or rape committed will NOT go on to commit further crimes. All to often we have a “revolving door” court system where the same criminals commit the vast majority of crimes. Perhaps now we can convince folks to move the system along and clear the backlog in our prisons of violent criminals on death row.
