If you are planning to rob a gas station and kill the teller for a few bucks knowing that you will be excuted if you do this, would you do it? I would say that perenctage of committing the crime would go down if the death penalty is enforced. People would accept going to jail as long as they dont get excuted. It is logical and common sense.
