I do not think that the death penalty is much of a deterrent, but is a fact that murderers who are put to death will kill no one else, and will not have his miserable life supported at taxpayers' expense.
There is much discussion about whether the sentence of death deters people from murdering. It probably does for a certain set of people, but it is not measurable, as we do not know for how many people it is a deterrent. One truth is that the death penalty deters the ones that have been executed from killing again, especially among his or her inmates in prison.
There are many arguments on both sides of the question, and I suspect that the side you come down on will depend as much on emotion and cultural background as on rationally weighing the facts. Given the incidence of murder in societies that have the death penalty, it is obviously not always a deterrent.
Myth: The death penalty acts as a deterrent to future capital punishment. This is wrong because, simply, there is no empirical basis for the claim. Ironically, studies have shown that murder rates in non-death penalty states are lower than they are in states that actually enforce the death penalty.
People argue that the death penalty is not a deterrent to crime.
Attempted murder carries the same penalty as murder.
Connecticut is one of the states that has a death penalty.
Yes No, it should not. An eye for an eye. You deserve the same fate you gave your victim. Of course there should be major, flawless laws for the death penalty, and of course understandable reasons for being put under the death penalty. For example, if you steal a car, the death penalty is just too harsh of a punishment. But if you murder someone, then the death penalty is an excellent form of punishment; again, an eye for an eye.
It is the same as the murder of anyone else and depends on the circumstances and motivations.
