In support of my statement of implying that capital punishment should not be abolished as it is effective is because according to 'The death penalty information centre' , in the number of executions by state since 1976. As we can see from the results, the executions decreased for all states. Also, from 1993, the number of executions have decreased throughout and since 1999 the number of executions decreased drastically. From the information that we have seen is enough to prove that capital punishment is effective in reducing crimes.
