I'm not really sure we should be listening to the British about how to run a country. They can barely take care of the small island they are on, much less a population that is almost 5 times larger living on a land mass that is almost 100 times the size. It's like asking the local PTA to run the state for awhile. It is easy to be all high and mighty about having no death penalty with so few citizens and land mass. Especially with a people that have been bred for centuries thinking that bloodlines make them better than someone else. If your police cannot catch a criminal, they are completely incompetent. Where would they go? If they leave the island (which they do), good riddance, and it's no longer your problem.

I wouldn't call the death penalty a deterrence.

I would call it justice. I would call it protective. By removing that element of society that flagrantly violates human rights, you no longer risk that cancer spreading. I completely agree about rapist being added to the death penalty. I also would push for narcotics dealers. Locking them away only limits their victims to other criminals.
