Murders still happen in countries with the death penalty, so no it doesn't stop a lot of people.
How about this. Lets get rid of the death penalty in America for a while and see what happens. Do you think crime will go up, down, or stay the same?
There is only one right answer. Oh and that whole thing about crimes are only affective above a certain point is laughable. How many murders happened under the iron fist of a lord of the manor during the middle ages? Im not endorsing that Im just pointing it out.
You're right because you're right I suppose? No actual facts to back you up, you just know it, right?
And I think you misunderstood. I'm saying "life imprisonment" is just as effective as the death penalty, because anyone who would commit a crime with the possible consequence of life imprisonment is not thinking about the consequences at all. You see, a serial killer doesn't think "but what if I get caught?". Someone who kills in a fit of rage does not think "but what if I get caught". People who murder do not think "but what if I get caught" in almost all cases.
So now all murders are in a fit of rage or by serial killers eh. Well I suppose your right because your right. Right!
and pre-mediated murderers dont care if they are killed, some see it as becoming a martyr. Life in prison is a much tougher punishment.
Life in prison is like infinite school.. only no teaching...
They get recess to go out with their murderer friends and chill in the courtyard, maybe play a few rounds of hoops. They get lunch to again chill with other like-minded psychopaths to they can develop a friendship that will last till they get our or the entirety of prison life. If they're lucky they can plan a riot and screw up the prison causing priceless damages.... The prison system is outdated and modernly inappropriate. Murderers are not children to be made to sit in the naughty chair (prison cell) for 10 minutes (ten years) until they've "learned their lesson" (even though there's no proof of that). The point is, it's bull shit.
A good system is where all criminals are sent to a Working Camp with VERY little food (in fact, some may only be fed by being given resources to make a fire and throwing rabbits into the camp). Make them work constantly (the main system being they can choose to become indentured servants, or essentially slaves, and work for a business or government project for no pay but better conditions than in the working camp (helps the economy, maybe even creating a surplus with the criminal system instead of a debt). Once someone's time is up, they are not simply set free into society, they go through re-education, to harshly teach what they should have learned, if they don't pass, they have to carry out their sentence a whole second time. Parts of the re-education should include drills through obstacle courses and teaching how to be an appropriate citizen. Some criminals may even wish to join the armed forces after their whole ordeal... which would be offered in re-education almost even as an incentive to pay their debts further. This harsh, appropriate, and logical system is the answer to handling criminals... not the outdated and piss-poor prison system we follow today...
