The world is a different place now compared to when capital punishment was abolished, maybe in this day and age it might be a deterrent for some people.....honestly I dont think we'll ever know, but knowing the biggest repercussion of all hangs over you if you do something abhorrent has (in my eyes) got to have some sort of effect on society.
If the death penalty was a successful deterrent it would never be required to be used right now all over the world - but it stil is used - around 1000 people were executed over the world last year in 23 countries - and that’s not including China . At the end of 2017 there were just under 25 thousand people on death row
So that’s death penalties across all differing cultures but still not stopping people committing hidious crimes - so why is it going to be any different in the UK
People like Hunter would still have done want he did , the Rigby killers would still have carried out their crimes
