Here’s another thought experiment. We have ample evidence that the death penalty hasn’t made America safe from murder. But we don’t know if it has deterrence value for lesser crimes.
I propose death by hanging for repeat littering and speeding near a school. I bet that’d be effective.
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoHanging? Why not shoot on sight, like the second amendment absolutionists/extremists think is the way to go?

You seem to be suggesting that because murders still happen, we know the death penalty has no deterrence value? That's not how deterrence works.
