Re: What to do with worm kiddies?

It troubles me to see people say incorrect things.?

" A high-end estimate is that each execution deters about 10 murders. (The
highest estimate I've ever seen is 24 murders deterred per execution, but
the closest thing to a consensus estimate in the econometric literature is
about eight.) "

I've never heard an estimate of even 1, let alone 8.  In fact the evidence
corroborates the theory that the brutalization effect in death penalty
states has significantly increased the number of stranger killings in states
 There is also a measurably higher rate of violent crime in death penalty
counties than in neighboring non-death penalty counties.
