How does the death penalty affect the crime rate in the US?
All criminal sanctions reduce crime rates. Anyone that doubts that, just ask them what would happen if we did away with all criminal sanctions for all crimes. Therefore, yes, the death penalty deters, but it may not show up in crime rates. Very few crimes are death penalty eligible and executions are even more rare. All criminal sanctions, including the death penalty, deter some. Thereofe, there will be fewer crimes and fewer murders because we have criminal sanctions, than if we didn't have those sanctions. Even if it doesn't show up in year to year crime rate, there will be NET fewer crimes, than if we had no sanctions. Dudley Sharp

Can capital punishment reduce crime how?
It actually does, but the problem is twofold at the present time. First, it is not done very much and when it is, people usually don't hear about it. Criminals know it's really unlikely to be executed and the worst they will likely ever face is life in prison. An air conditioned, comfortable cell with cable TV, a weight room, and 3 square meals a day. Second, the death penalty deters crime by instilling a fear of the judicial system and therefore a fear of doing things bad enough to warrant such a punishment. Fear is a psychological weapon, and therefore it is almost impossible to accurately test it's effectiveness.
