No, it does absolutely nothing to reduce crime and as APWD pointed out where do we draw the line, what's punishable and what isn't?

I'm studying crime in sociology at the moment so this topic has been popping up frequently in lesson. I do understand some of the pros to having it, such as it's cheaper (although this isn't always the case surprisingly due to how expensive lethal injections are to carry out etc.), it solves the crowding issue of prisons and so on and so forth. But there's just far too many cons that massively outweigh the pros.
