Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research studies have shown no consistent evidence to support the claim that the death penalty deters homicides or reduces homicide rates. Some states with the death penalty have higher homicide rates than states without it, and some states that abolished the death penalty saw no significant increase in homicide rates. Therefore, states with the death penalty do not have lower homicide rates.
