To simplify it as you need it to be, if the death penalty was a deterrent then states/countries with the death penalty should have zero % crime rates. Would you agree?
Many have tried to survey the crims that have been executed to see whether they would re-offend but unfortunately none responded because they were ... well ... faarking dead.

On a side note, I think that more minimum security prisons / detention centres built in arid locations where criminals have offended two or three times with smaller crimes ( I'll say small time drug dealers, thieves etc ) are incarcerated for 2-3 months upon a second offence to give them a "taste"* of jail could be a deterrent.
Here, spend 3 months out the back of Innaminka and see if this type of lifestyle suits you, if not, clean your act up or the next time it'll be three years.
The amount of insignificant, trivial "penalties" handed out to small time criminals (who would seem bound for bigger crimes/offences) are simply laughable. No wonder they become repeat offenders.
Let me simplify it for you... as you seem to need it to be dumb down a bit.... If the punishment for speeding is the death penalty would you speed?
people are motivated by lots of things - greed, desperation, jealousy, anger, and many other things. when you are in an emotional or desperate state, the severity of the punishment is nowhere near the forefront of your mind.

Realistically. there is no way a death penalty for speeding would become a reality. I'd certainly be on the streets protesting the idea if it were mooted seriously.
By contrast, while I wouldn't vote for a death penalty for crimes like murder, I probably wouldn't be out on the streets protesting against the idea either.

I couldn't image you on the streets protesting anything Psyber.

You didn't know me in the Vietnam days, when my mail was being opened. Years later, when I was advising ASIO on an unrelated technical matter, I asked them about it, and they told me it must have been the Federal Police because of how obviously and clumsily done it was at the time.
