Death penalty does not deter crime in term that it has no beneficial effect on murder or crime rates and does not make the country any safer. Many people think that abolishing the capital punishment leads to higher crime rates. But, there are many studies do not back this up. Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno said, “I have inquired for most of my adult life about studies that might show that the death penalty is a deterrent. And I have not seen any research that would substantiate that point.” Wisconsin, a country which has not had the death penalty for 150 years, has a murder rate that is half that of states like Texas and Florida which use the death penalty frequently. Amnesty International stated that the murder rate in Canada has dropped by 27% since the death penalty was abolished in that country in 1976. Evidences from around the world have also shown that this punishment has no deterrent effect on crime. A New York Times survey demonstrated that the homicide rate in states with capital punishment have been 48% to 101% higher than those without the death penalty (Bonner, R., & Fessenden, F., 2000). Amnesty International stated that, in 2004 in the USA, the average murder rate for states that used the death penalty was 5.71 per 100,000 of the population as against 4.02 per 100,000 in states that did not use it. In 2003 in Canada, 27 years after the country abolished the death penalty the murder rate had fallen by 44 per cent since 1975, when capital punishment was still enforced. Far from decreasing the crime rates and making the country safer, the punishment has been shown to have a hardening effect on society.
