wouldnt you like those statistics to go down?? incidentally look at the amount of black people that were invloved in knife crime and the amount of
white people that are victims..? i think its the mentality again of 'we can get away with it becuase we can just say you coppers are beng
racist' and the violence that comes from certain types of black people thinking they are still hard done by because of thier race. I am not
racist in any way i will work alongside anybody, and regularly do, but what does p*ss me off is the ones that use 'non existant' racism to
feel better about not doing any work or commiting violent crimes... anyway back to the point.
This is a graph showing homicide rates against the use of the death penalty. Clearly a definate correlation there with the lack of use of the death
penalty and increase in killings.

If you look at the crime statistics (don't even suggest comparing the UK to the USA - it has never been similar) for this country before and
after the abolition of the death penalty you will clearly see how effective it was as a deterrent.
What are you saying here? that people in the uk and usa are inherently different in thier responses to the potential threat of death if they do
something wrong? I think all humans resond in a very similar way, and the statistics you are citing are presumambly skewed to the defence of not
having the death penalty. The graph above is the simplest i could find, showing relationship between condemnation to death and homicide rates, and i
think it fairly well shows the point..

No, my point was that the death penalty in this country worked very well in keeping the murder rate low, far more so than where it is still used in
America today.
If at first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!
