No I wouldn't say so ! It's just that on this issue there are some of us who can't agree with your points of view. I wouldn't attempt to sway your opinion & I have respect for your stance (as I had for Eric on the torture issue), but I can't agree with you on this one.
As you also stated murders were being committed even when the Death penalty was an option, but here I would interject that the rate of murders & violent crimes has risen since the abolishment of said sentence. Therefore I do believe it had some deterrent effect, added to that those who were hung certainly were stopped from re-offending.

specifically Chapter. VI in relation to crime. Like I said crime detection has come on in leaps & bounds since the earlier days of forensics, to todays ultra modern & hi-tec advances. The results speak for themselves as the bulk of modern crimes are solved with modern technologies & the convictions are sound, you yourself have advocated the use of modern methods on previous occasions.
