Not in my view. States that carry out the death penalty do not necessarily have lower crime rates. Beyond that, recent DNA technology has shown that numerous persons who were sentenced to death didn't do the crime. Finally, there's the moral issue - "you shall not murder." (The fact that the criminal murdered someone doesn't make it okay for the State to do the same.)
