The Death Penalty: Its Relation to Murder & Suicide

M.G. Neithercutt

Despite volumes of commentary on the topic, capital punishment remains a thorny issue. Data analyses and other observations are marshalled to enlighten regarding the interplay of Murder, Suicide, and Execution, variously defined. It is concluded that supporters of capital punish ment have some explaining to do. Murder and Suicide track Execution in the same pattern. Therefore, to argue that executions depress murders would seem to require insistence that executions reduce suicides, too. The dynamics of this latter relationship boggle the mind.
