<I have seen no data suggesting that imposing capital punishment on a jurisdiction that previously did not have it results in decreased crime rates.> Try New York. Since capital punishment was implemented a few years ago, murder is down significantly. I assume you know that you have shown no cause and effect whatever in the above statement. Since I got silver threads among the gold a few years ago, murder is down significantly. Perhaps if I dye my whole body silver we'll have world peace? <g> Here are some stats with more meaning: the show the ratio of executions to the national murder rate. Tables are difficult, at least for me, but please do scan it at least! From Bedau: CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS NOT A DETERRENT TO MURDER Ratio of Executions to the National Murder Rate: 1976-1995 YEAR ~ # OF EXECUTIONS ~ NATIONAL MURDER RATE 1976 0 8.8 1977 1 8.8 1978 0 9 1979 2 9.7 1980 0 10.2 1981 1 9.8 1982 2 9.1 1983 5 8.3 1984 21 7.9 1985 18 7.9 1986 18 8.6 1987 25 8.3 1988 11 8.3 1989 16 8.7 1990 23 9.4 1991 14 9.8 1992 31 9.3 1993 38 9.5 1994 31 9 1995 56 8
