Secondly, I don't think it would be a deterent as most murders are either in the heat of the moment after provocation or by psychopaths. The logical thought process of crime and punishment doesn't really come into it.
Thirdly, as mentioned by other Posters, it doesn't work in other countries such as the USA which are some of the most violent in the world.
