This gets quoted time after time with nothing to back it up conclusively, how do you measure the people that have been deterred ? people point to the US and compare the crime rates of states with and without he death penalty, but the non death penalty states always have differing ( better) socio-economic conditions to the death penalty states,the death penalty is a deterrent, how much is anybodys guess.The death penalty has been proved to be no deterrent for any crime.
