Can you provide evidence to support your statements in your second paragraph ? I’ll wait

A consideration and a question for you

1. Does the death sentence act as deterrent to potential offenders ? (And yes obviously it does at an individual)

2. If it doesn’t then what would the reintroduction of the death penalty solve? Is it justice ? Or, is it as i believe more about vengeance
