Public execution.

Now there is a stat I would like to see.

What is the murder rate percentage in proportion to the population in countries that have public executions lie say, Saudi Arabia for example compaired to those countries that dont

(Acts of terrorism dont count)


Personally I am in favor of public execution. and the more inhumane the better

Is the death penalty a good deterant. IMO yes. It has a 100% success rate for no recidivism. Not one single person who gets it ever commits another rape, murder or other crime. That statistic is heads and shoulders above the recidivism rate for all other means of crime punishment and or treatment. Does that mean I consider it suitable for all crimes, absolutely not.

For the most part, the only countries that still use capital punishment are third world **** holes that you wouldn't want to live in.

We're the ones that are supposed to be advanced. We pride ourselves on being the best and brightest at everything, but when it comes to crime and punishment, we're rather barbaric in comparison to the rest of our more advanced friends.

Again. thats a meaningless statistic.

Because the death penalty is so rarely used even in death penalty states.

 NJ has the death penaly. yet we havent executed anyone since the death penalty has been brought back.

None, naa nill.

So how can it be said its not a deterrent when its rarely, and in our case never, been used.

Totally meaningless statistic

Just because they are third world countires doesnt mean that all their laws and methods are bad. Or incorrect

Rome was once more advanced then the rest of the world too

Its just too bad all the prayer energy and foolish defending of a admitted killer goes to waste.  They always seem to play up how the prisoner has "changed his ways, found God (why are we building churches if people keep finding him there???)...etc etc..  They seem to minimize the crime, the effect on the victims and they're families.

I dunno... *shrug*

I've known several who have done time. and by "time" I mean years in prison.

EVERYONE who goes to prison "changes their ways" and "finds God" while in prison.

And most once they get out remember their old ways and might as well say "God who?"

Your statistics indicate nothing and are in fact totally meaningless in light of the fact that death penalty is only rarely ever actually carried out.
and everyone knows this. So how is that supposed to act or be seen as as a deterrent?

If it were frequently carried out on a consistant,steady and regular basis in the death penalty states over a period of time THEN your statisics  of states that have the penalty Vrs states that dont would mean something.

Let me dig up some numbers.  I'll try to find how many murderers were executed last year compared to how many murderers there were.
