Re: Does capital punishment reduce crime?

1)No, because if you do something that you know that if you get caught you get capital punishment, you care less anyway. This implies, that it reduces crime, as those who don't care less won't do it; still against for answer to point 2)

2) On which moral?If I talk about my conception of morality no, simply because how can we be 100% sure the person really committed the crime? How can we judge if a crime does need a capital punishment or not? and mainly why do we never consider to look in the past of a person to understand why somebody did it, try to help him/her out of the situation by other means?
