<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is also the lives they may eventually take in
prison. Or are inmates convicted of lesser crimes as well as corrections
staff not entitled to protection from society's worst? We've run down this
path before, the only problem with a death penalty is the danger of making a
mistake. In cases where the guilt is beyond all shadow of a doubt, (Joseph
Duncan leaps to mind) give them a shot and make the world a slightly better
place.</FONT></DIV>

Death Penalty IS a Deterent<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>>
Donovan,<BR>>><BR>>> Here is a quote noting the conclusion of your
'scientific study.'<BR>>><BR>>> "What gets little notice, however,
is a series of academic studies over <BR>>> the last half-dozen years that
claim to settle a once hotly debated <BR>>> argument - whether the death
penalty acts as a deterrent to murder. The <BR>>> analyses say yes. They
count between three and 18 lives that would be <BR>>> saved by the
execution of each convicted killer."<BR>>><BR>>> What is missing is
the contrasting study: Would killing the killer prevent <BR>>> more lives
than, say, putting him in prison for life? There is no evidence <BR>>> to
suggest so, as far as I can tell. The "once hotly debated argument" is
<BR>>> not about whether death would prevent people from killing. Of
course it <BR>>> would! The issue is whether the threat of death prevents
anyone from <BR>>> killing. And your 'study' says absolutely nothing about
that. There is no <BR>>> evidence here that the death penalty is any more
of a deterrent than, say, <BR>>> life without
parol.<BR>>><BR>>> Best, Joe<BR>>><BR>>>
------------------------------<BR>>><BR>>> How about that? According
to scientific research the death penalty saves <BR>>> 3-18 lives per
execution.<BR>>><BR>>> Best,<BR>>><BR>>>
