Re: Death Penalty Poll
[ QUOTE ]
believe though we should compare our rate of violent crime to other industrialized nations. If I remember correctly we have one of the highest rates of violent crime per capita

It's interesting to note, but there are so many potential factors that go into a statistic like this that you can't read too much into it. Some would argue (in fact, some have argued in this thread) that the only reason the death penalty isn't deterring violent crime is because it isn't being adminitered correctly.
