The death penalty Deters crime and saves lives

"In Britain the death penalty was abolished for the simple reason that too many people were wrongly sent to hang. One of these innocent people was Timonthy Evans."This is a refutation for both. 1. How long ago was this?2. New and current DNA samples make the innocent kill rate close to 0. Historically you are correct, but in the current day if you are found guilty you are most certialy guilty. Also even if 90-100 people where guilty, 10 guilty, you are saving many lives. Like in the studies below each execution saves 3-18 lives because those people would have done it again if they got parole, killed a prison quard, or even another inmate. So lets do math. And one of the studies says 10, and thats a good median number:90*10= 90010=10so killing 10 innocents well saves no one so just add up the number, if ten innocents died 10 die, and each execution saves 10 lives on average, so multiply by 10. So is 10 or 900 bigger? 900, so more lives are saved then lost. And the ratio with new DNA testing is 1:100 at mostRefutations for the rest of your case:above. In america the innocents have no guilty evidence, but no not-guilty evidence. So in englad sure a few are innocents and get killed, in america not one has been TRULY found without controversy. I bet there is one or 2, but in America my case is fairly correct. And yes sometimes there are mess ups, but if you save 900 and only lose 10 thats a good deal. "By looking at the "heat of the moment crimes first I will show how deterrence does not work in these cases. "Most same people aren't affected by this, I have been really mad before and have not yet killed anyone. I have not yet killed anyone at in in rage, my dad gets mad all the time and has never killed. My mom had a car wrek and now her temper is low so she's mad a lot, and she never kills in wrage. "murders that are plotted "You know the DP can deter these right? Because if the police catch you you will face trial and possibly a human's greatest fear, death. So it's the threat that is scary, just being caught is the problem. And the police can still catch you, and we have treaties with canada and mexico saying if you catch a suspect bring him here. So even "plotted" cases can be detered."victims of mentally ill criminals"can still be detered. Even if someone you knew was crazy you could still be normal, just because you have been beaten doesn't mean your mind changes, its simple nurology, it may not help your personality, but it wont turn you full out crazed. C1: Deters crimeUsing a panel data set of over 3,000 counties from 1977 to 1996, Professors Hashem Dezhbakhsh, Paul R. Rubin, and Joanna M. Shepherd of Emory University found that each execution, on average, results in 18 fewer murders. [1]Professors H. Naci Mocan and R. Kaj Gittings of the University of Colorado at Denver have published two studies confirming the deterrent effect of capital punishment. The first study used state-level data from 1977 to 1997 to analyze the influence of executions, commutations, and removals from death row on the incidence of murder. For each additional execution, on average, about five murders were deterred. [1]Two studies by Paul R. Zimmerman, a Federal Communications Commission economist, also support the deterrent effect of capital punishment. Using state-level data from 1978 to 1997, Zimmerman found that each additional execution, on average, results in 14 fewer murders. [1]So lives are saved according to this. The gray line is murders, the blueish one are executions. Notice murder goes down when executions start up. C2:saves livesarguments above, and my refutations prove that more lives are saved than innocents lost. Also ... well yes lives are saved due to its deterece affect as shown above. http://www.heritage.org...;[1]department of justice
