[QUOTE="goonchild, post: 650479, member: 14725"] Who needs Donald Trump?! As has been known for a long time - even in the United States of Trumpland - the death penalty has very little or no deterrent value (see [url=https://www.dartmouth.edu/~chance/teaching_aids/books_articles/JLpaper.pdf]https://www.dartmouth.edu/~chance/teaching_aids/books_articles/JLpaper.pdf[/url]; [url=https://www.law.columbia.edu/law_school/communications/reports/summer06/capitalpunish]https://www.law.columbia.edu/law_school/communications/reports/summer06/capitalpunish[/url]). The death penalty may have entertainment or consolation value for those of us who clothe our sadism in the garb of 'moral' outrage but not much else. As for 'very' naughty children, the christian and jewish god is quite clear that they should be killed (read your Deuteronomy 21 and Exodus 21), which is fair enough, I suppose: think of the benefits to everyone of not passing on genes predisposed to belief without evidence.
