Reminds me the most of when discussing corporal punishment with a friend of mine with regards to raising kids. He was up and down talking about how his dad had to beat the crap out of him to keep him in line, and of course with a few examples, I'd follow up with "did you do that again?", "well yeah, I got beat for doing that over and over".
and of course that's ignoring the bigger part. Even giving the "punishment deters"... really it only goes in 2 forms.
It's often ineffective because it hasn't hit yet. AKA you haven't got punished, therefore you know the punishment doesn't apply to you.
Or you have been punished, and well you can handle it again.
Course death penalty is a one time issue obviously. But obviously also has the follow up where, it can be even worse because people are more hesetant to charge in the less obviously wrong scenerios. IE anyone with half a heart or a concern to protect kids will throw the book at a 50 year old diddling a 10 year old.
Laws generally have exceptions when a 19 year old has sex with a 17 year old. Somewhere out there though is greyer areas where most people would say it's wrong, but it's on the fence.
