False. Tough to commit more crimes if you are dead

It doesn't deter the initial crime is her point

But there is a necessity to ensure some people never walk freely among us

FWIW, my academic work isn’t centered on the carceral system. This thread is unrelated to anything I’m pursuing for my degree.

Same here lol.

I disagree. Thomas Sowell seems to be doing quite well.

Dr. Sowell could publish anything as he's already made it in the field.
He's the premier conservative economist.
He can go places normal scholars can't.

All I do is argue with my dissertation committee chair. He’s so frustrating and we disagree about so many things all the time.

You don't say...

First, can we stop editorializing my alleged opinions?

It's hard not to, you make a blanket statement, and then refuse to explain what you really mean by them.
I've challenged you a number of times on if you consider the Laws of God criticizable, or intended only as punishment.

You know you have refused to clarify this.
Hence it is hard to not draw the conclusions to where your views lead. You are free to correct me if my conclusions are wrong and clarify what your view on that is.

Second, you claimed this: If more murderers were indeed executed for their crimes even your abstract agrees that it would reduce murders more than prison alone.

That could be true but the abstract certainly doesn’t propose or support that claim.

FORST (1977), ... INDICATES THAT CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BOTH REDUCES THE CERTAINTY OF MURDERERS BEING CONVICTED FOR THEIR CRIMES,

THUS THE DEATH PENALTY SEEMS TO PRODUCE LESS DETERRENCE THAN

THE MORE CERTAIN PENALTY OF IMPRISONMENT.

I have never suggested this.

Can you give an example of a justifiable incarceration?
One you could vote for on a jury?

A person locked away in prison can’t walk freely among society to commit another crime. That in and of itself is a deterrent.

We already know, conclusively, that harsher punishments do not deter crime


You are truly a really really stupid person if you believe this.

What matters is the certainty of consequences


So being certain you will fry for your crimes would be a start.

You are advocating for uncertainty.
