    In the U.S. at least: it cost tax payers more money to sentence someone to death than life in prison. Inmates frequently live on death row for 10+ years.

    It's a money grab for lawyers when someone is sentenced to death instead of life without parole.

    yup. There’s a long appeal process for inmates on death row. All those court hearings add up in cost.

    I mean yes in the sense that we either just put em out back n a--- blast them or torture them. None of this lethal injection bs. Solitary confinement without ever being let outside, no windows, and 1 same small meal a day is also satisfactory.

    Ofc they should execute ppl. But not with the current system

    there should be a redefining of “beyond reasonable doubt” to probably beyond any doubt. And for those ppl for sure they should be put down. Zero question

    ppl who f--- childern should be killed. With no hesitation...and not painless death, they should run a game show where winners win based on who could come up with the most painful way to k--- child rapiests. Im talking brutal brutal deaths. Zero doubts in my mind

    A few reasons:
    1. In the USA, it costs more money to execute someone than to leave them in prison for life due to the appeals process and the fact that it can take a 10+ years of them sitting on death row.

    2. Cuz, like I said, people's guilt have been "proven" only for a piece of evidence to exonerate someone years later. Our system is flawed.

    3. Do you think anyone who kills someone should be put to death? What if it was an accident? Like if they got in a fight and accidentally killed the other person? Or if someone kills someone in the heat of the moment and feels instant regret? Living with that is a punishment worse than death imo and I'd rather have them spend 25 years in prison contemplating that and come out rehabilitated (obviously there'd have to be a lot of prison reform for this to work lol) than just having two people dead. What does that solve? Maybe the victim's family feel better for an instant and then they still have to deal with the gaping hole in their life and soul.

    If putting people to death actually prevented murders from being committed then I could get behind it in theory. But it doesn't. It's amputating a gangrenous limb instead of trying to prevent gangrene in the first place.

    People seem to be more focused on revenge/avenge than prevention & rehabilitation.

    Yes exactly. Killing or torturing people doesn't prevent crime or rehabilitate anyone.

    Oh yea for sure. First of all fear of punishment does work as proven by many countries. But its not why we shoupd punish by killing. We should do it for revenge

    your exactly right

    and let me assure u its good enough reason

    That's not what the data shows. In a study of 11 countries only one had an upward trending murder rate. The rest of them downwardly trended besides a few of them having a slight uptick in the first year or two then downwardly trending.

    I don't think anyone is advocating putting someone to death if they accidentally killed a person. This is more for premeditated 100% proof killings. But again I think this decision should go to the victims families. It's nice that some of you think that if someone took a loved one from you that they should just do 20 years and they can go along living their life (because some murderers eventually get paroled) and you'd be fine with that. Personally I would want them to rot in jail for the rest of their life with no chance of parole, if that wasn't possible then I'd rather see them dead tbh

    Kyrgyzstan feels like an anomaly:

    Poland is the only country that had an immediate noteworthy uptick but then dropped below overall:

    Georgia's the only one that had an upward trend, that then returned to normal (though I can't say what the future after 11 years was):

    Does the punishment of death really prevent people from committing murder?

    like I’m not not killing people because I’m scared of the death penalty, I’m not killing people because it’s not the right thing to do and is completely immoral/horrifying.

    people who k--- people don’t have the compass or mental stability to think like that. And will k--- regardless

    This kinda gets at my point—in theory, no one gets convicted of murder unless they are 100% proved to have murdered someone, but innocent people still get convicted and put on death row. It's hard to put caveats on "an eye for an eye" because people disagree on the semantics, and these semantics are gonna be used to k--- people who don't deserve it, and I don't want to give any chance to abuse this.

    You're right that it's definitely easy to say I'd be fine with it in theory when it hasn't happened to me (and the example I was using was for an unpremeditated murder)—I don't know how I would feel about the possibility of them getting paroled. I was more saying that I don't think killing them would make me feel better.
