Jail and executions could mitigate the problem, we just need people to stand for a far right government next election.

I imagine some of these forumites sitting at home sharpening their pitchforks, preparing their tar-soaked torches, and probably ironing their white hooded outfits.
Not that they would ever actually do anything, its much easier to foam at the mouth on here.
What a sad lot they are.

Working out great for them, eh?

If there was a simple answer we would all be living in peace by now.

1253852 2012-01-13 08:58:00 Yes it is. Japan has a lid on murderers and robbers, Yanks now have the lowest homicide rates since records were taken.
I quite like the Japanese procedure for execution. The filthy scum crook does not know the day of execution they just pitch up at his cell and hang him long drop method. They then ring the family and tell them to pick up the body.
It works for them they have a very low murder rate. I am not as arrogant to think we couldnt learn from the Japs.

United States has a murder rate over twice that of New Zealand.

Japan executes about three people a year on average, generally for multiple murders. Are you suggesting that there is a deterence effect with the death penalty?

All the research appears to be against you. Example www.deathpenaltyinfo.org

Note the conclusion that the death penalty likely increases the murder rate. Pretty consistent finding across many studies so hardly picking one to suit my case. And look at the stats on wikipedia - many countries with low murder rates don't have the death penalty and lo and behold New Zealand is one of those countries.

Yes stops re offending after the criminal has been executed.
