The Death Penalty: No Evidence for Deterrence
What the paper simply write: there is no evidence, means no way to show with high quality scientific studies that cannot be applied at all, that a death sentence is effective.
What people understand when they read quickly just the title: a death sentence is not effective. This is not what the paper is saying! It clearly says there is no positive or negative evidence, because doing proper studies would be unethical, especially if we would removed all factors that influence such values.
This doesn't happen just with the prison, but even in many other topics. We cannot crash a plane to study what are the effects ... we cannot tell a patient "please eat 0 kcal, because i want to check how many days it requires before you die". There are so many scientific questions that cannot be answer, due to ethical problem with such studies ...
Studies show no link between the presence or absence of the death penalty and murder rates https://perma.cc/6P4Q-SP5J
If the death penalty is not a proven deterrent to murder (= MEANS NO REAL POSITIVE STUDIES), is it worth the excessive costs, risks of error, uncertainty of completion, and other problems that are inherent to its practice? —> so since we cannot answer that by science, we use factors like errors during execution or the price to say "it's not ok" —> we cannot say "scientifically there is a negative evidence!"
Even saying "murders are less" is bullshit, like we showed in previous posts, because yes, maybe in one US state this is the case, in another one is totally fake saying that ...
Plus even if there is an increase or decrease, can we really say "it's due to the death sentence?". Canada was the best example. An increase without that ...
https://t.iss.one/WomenRightsTelegram/340
So instead of checking half of the information, let we really check facts:
- scientific evidence: NEUTRAL or better NOT POSSIBLE TO ANSWER DUE TO ETHICAL ISSUES
- more / less homicide = bullshit
- cost: not clear
- wrong sentence / errors: depends

Similar story?
We are always 😳 when we read stories about people killing family members, friends or similar.
What we always forget instead is why such things happen ...
https://t.iss.one/StuproFatti/295
First of all, such homicide generally are huge different compared to other serious homicides ...
https://t.iss.one/DefenceTelegram/561
https://t.iss.one/RecidivismFacts/121
Obviously there are homicides with a possible reason and homicides with no reason at all, so again it's complex ... Let we consider now homicides with a possible reason ...
So already seeing all as similar is 💩
Now again, doing a crime as answer to a specific event / situation / believe IS NOT a justification! like we said previously
https://t.iss.one/TerrorismTelegram/155
https://t.iss.one/LawsTelegram/15
https://t.iss.one/TerrorismTelegram/415
https://t.iss.one/WomenRightsTelegram/599
Why such things happen? Well, probably Lost showed exactly ... Why Kate killed her dad? Have you already forgot lost ....
Wayne Janssen was Kate's biological father, though he was likely unaware of this. He beat Kate's mother Diane, was an alcoholic, and made sexual advances toward Kate (which she vehemently rebuffed). He was killed by Kate when she blew up his house in 2001. At the time she killed him, she was aware of the fact he was her biological father. ("What Kate Did") https://perma.cc/7YQK-ZZ63
This is just one of 10000 examples, where probably KATE WOULD NEVER KILL ANOTHER PERSON! showing that doing a death sentence in such case is pretty shit. Such things need to be considered during a sentence. The reasons behind actions are huge important ...

Related to the previous example of homicide done by Kate
https://t.iss.one/DefenceTelegram/577
Again, the story is a bit more complex, because there is no just 👨👧 but even ✈️ and 🏥
Kate, having been promised that nobody would be hurt in the robbery, intervenes by shooting Jason in the leg as well as shooting his other two accomplices https://perma.cc/AQ2Q-HBB8
When Jason wanted to kill the hostage bank manager Mr. Hutton, Kate decided to prevent it by shooting Jason in the leg. Kate's true motive was to retrieve the toy airplane, and at the end of the flashback, she left with it, leaving behind the money, as well as Jason and the other robbers https://perma.cc/QWL4-J945
and about 🏥, he was not killed by her ...
Tom was accidentally killed by a stray bullet while driving with Kate, who was fleeing the police https://perma.cc/TQ6M-F756
Before the crash, Kate had spent many years fleeing the law after killing her abusive father. To achieve her goals, she would commit several other crimes and would turn to bank robbery, assault and seduction https://perma.cc/T85N-4MAN
She was otherwise even pretty empathic with the 🚜 ...
She then saved him by pulling him out from the burning wreckage, which allowed Mars to capture her https://perma.cc/5WBR-BNPH
Like she was pretty 🥰 otherwise ...
Just an example why considering the real story behind the homicide is HUGE IMPORTANT TO MAKE PROPER SENTENCES!
Sure, she did a crime, but there are people much worse than Kate, who really deserve a death sentence.
Kate is for sure NOT on the list of people that need a death sentence ...

Among countries with a large surplus of homicides, we find the United States, countries in Africa, South and Central America, the Caribbean, and countries that belonged to the former Soviet Empire.
Many countries in Latin America also have higher homicide rates than expected. There is an important and growing literature on violence in Latin America identifying numerous different factors responsible for this increase, including social inequality, ineffectiveness of the police and other criminal justice institutions, corruption, organized crime, armed conflicts, and so on (Frühling, Tulchin, & Golding, 2003; World Bank, 2007).
In regard to Africa, the fact that many countries have a large homicide rate is to be expected given their socioeconomic, demographic, and political characteristics. It is also not surprising that the United States has an excessive homicide rate, as it has by far the largest homicide rate of the most developed nations.
