    There is no evidence that capital punishment has any meaningful effect on violent crime - in some states in USA the reverse appears to be true in that there remain high levels of violent crimes including murder despite a high level of capital punishment. In addition - the definition of murder as the intentional termination of a life appears to preclude the state from that act given that it is, by definition, illegal. One of the indicators of a fair and just free society has to be its treatment of vulnerable, challenging or dysfunctional societal members - to murder a member of society to satsify the need for visible punishment appears to be at the least self-serving and probably cynically vote-chasing. Chris - I like your posts. Welcome to the site!!!!!
