Here are some stats on the crime in the US.
Preliminary Semiannual Uniform Crime Report, 2006
The violent crime in the US is scary and unpredictable, "when I was growing up" you would get robed or killed if you went to the *shady side of town*, now you can get killed sitting in house or yanked out of your car on the way to work.

As for the death penalty many jurors now won't convict because they do not want blood on their hands.

Lot of good the death penalty is, you sentience someone to death and they sit on death row for 25 years, (I think they should have one year for appeal's then flip the switch).

It is not a deterrent to crime, at best, it is vengeance.

If we were not so soft on crime (spare the rod spoil the child)
is vengeance to spank your kid, or control?
and if you don't correct them then what happens?
