Murder is committed for 3 reasons or motivations. Passion, Profit and Compulsion.People who kill for profit do it very rationally and are always convinced they will not be caught.People who murder from passion have snapped and lost their mind. This kind of murder can not be deterred because they are not thinking rationally.And compulsion is the worst, its just pure compulsion to be violent and murder. Examples: John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer and Son of Sam. This kind of murder also cannot be deterred.

There are different types of murder so not all murders are put on death row. In 1969 the death penalty was stopped by a Supreme Court decision. This is one reason Charles Manson wasn't given a death sentence, so he spent 50 years in prison.

Because They Are Insane Or They Find It Funny even though we dont.

//There are different motives for murder. Some of the most common are monentary gain, jealousy, rage, power, political or military motivated or as a way to eliminate a spouse or loved one.

Contrary to popular belief, most murderers are neither insane nor do they find it amusing, only a way to achieve what they want.
