..two days from now will the the automatic "New intel chipsets implement DRm technology" post. and everyone can complain this was all a plot by the **AA
As you said rehabilitation is not applicable to death sentance cases. Incapacitation is achieved through prison.And retribution is a barbaric practice to begin with, it only promotes a cycle of death. Deterrance is far more important than any of the above, If the sentence on one criminal stops two more than the punishment is of great value to society. Whats the value of four saved lives (two criminals , two victems) to the value in retribution for one dead criminal?
It's very easy to get sucked into that argument.
But on the other side of the coin we cannot presume that capital punishment works. The Eye for an Eye mentality doesn't seem to actually deter criminals and to date I haven't seen one study that shows a real direct link.
