The death penalty's deterrent effect has been reduced to nothing in recent years and, thus, does not show up in the research because it has not been imposed often or quickly enough to have the desired effect.
True/False

The correct option is True

Explanation:

It is true because most crimes that attract " the Death Penalty," are few and does not always show up. Criminals who commit crimes that attract death penalty are extremely smart and careful people who apply due diligence in all their criminal acts to ensure that they are not easily caught in the act. They apply caution and clean traces to avoid been traced to their acts. They avert avoidable risks and apply counter technologies to escape the net of security operatives.

However, the death penalty as a deterrent does not stop the perpetration of such crime but makes the criminal recalcitrant.

True

Explanation:

Most people believe that, the death penalty does not have any deterrent effect on crime rates and there is no clear research suggesting that it does.

This can be attributed to the length of time between death penalty cases, with the last case in the United states occuring as far back as 2003.

If the death penalty was to be meted out on a more regular basis, then it would probably deter people from committing crimes.
