Well I think all punishment decreases crime rates but I think the death penalty decreases the most amount of crime. However, it remains extremely difficult to show a relationship between crime rates and the death penalty, and it's questionable whether a criminal that would be willing commit a crime that is punishable by life in prison would be deterred by a possible death penalty. The stakes are so high in both cases that the punishment likely isn't a determinate on whether the criminal will proceed.

The United States has a relatively high crime rate compared to many other developed countries. However, rankings can vary depending on the specific crime rates being compared.

It's important to consider that crime rates can also vary within different regions or cities within a country.
