I once heard from Rabbi Shmuel Yaakov Weinberg zt”l of Ner Israel that the way to reduce the homicide rate is not by the death penalty. As there is no correlation between death penalty and reduced homicides. The way to reduce homicides is to have respect for human life and to respect people as to not hurt them. If you don’t care about hurting someone, then that can escalate to far greater things.
