> Thats why we have severe punishment for murder

Not a great comfort to the murdered person or their family, I'd venture.

Given the numbers, it would appear that deterrent generally doesn't stop people who are inclined to murder, though.


yes it would, if there is no deterrent, the number would go up way more.
