How does the death penalty impact recidivism?

Answer by  gummie (738)

People on death row are unable to get out of prison and are waiting for the day they are put to death. Once they are put to death, there is absolutely no recidivism to worry about.

Answer by  Mike39 (320)

It's plain and simple - criminals who have been given death sentences will not commit crime again because they will be dead. Not to mention the fact that taxpayers won't have to feed them while they are in jail.

Answer by  Lks (29)

The death penalty, of course, totally prevents recidivism, because the criminal is no longer alive and able to continue committing heinous crimes against others. There are many who argue that the death penalty is not a deterrent to violent crime, but execution does permanently remove violent criminals from our midst.

First, those executed don't repeat offend. Secondly, in those states with higher death penalty rates, there is a corresponding longer incarceration rate for those guilty of other crimes. Because of the longer jail time, recidivism rates and crime rates in general are lower in those states.
