Crime rates and executions
States that use the death penalty have no major crime difference than those who do not use it. The murder rates in states with the death penalty actually have higher crime percentages from 1990 through 2009 which can implicate that the death penalty has no effect on crime overall. It could actually promote violence and revenge rather than promote a non tolerable criminal justice system.
Many people, politicians, state governments, and cities strongly stand against the death penalty like we do. Abolitionists strongly believe that the death penalty is the worst violation of human rights. At the moment the death penalty in the United States have most states use it for crimes like murders and certain cases of rape towards women and children. Other states do not use it at all. I believe the government should be smarter on handing out these death sentences. There has been enough cases where human error in our criminal justice system has caused irreversible mistakes and taken the lives of innocent people. The chart below shows how many people were at the brink of death because they were accused but were exonerated. In other words, were about to get the death penalty but were released because of false accusation.
