Hi Solon. Back on the DP again - it was inevitable! -g-

Anyway, if a murder is averted in a hostage situation because the police negotiator convinced the perp to surrender using a DP threat, would you consider that to be deterrence?

BTW, in the past I've shown you the precipitous drop in murder rate after NY re-adopted the DP. The stats you just posted are not relevant to the issue of deterrence, IMO.
