This source is a more statistical analysis of the deterrent effect of the death penalty. This article looks at the statistics of crime rates in states with death penalty and compares those crime rates to other categories such as age,income,etc. The article finds that there is no relationship with the death penalty and crime deterrence. In states with the death penalty, there has been absolutely no effect on the crime rates.

I will use this article to discuss the deterrent argument of the death penalty. I will specifically use the data in this to talk about how there is no correlation between the death penalty and crime rates, as well as instead showing the other factors that contribute to crime rates. This will be an article that I mainly use for the statistics and not much else.
