Are you sure you’re posting to the right person?
My post #28 contains nothing but raw stats.
I haven’t made any attempt to draw conclusions or propose actions.
Although I have lots of ideas.
Here is your post #28, in its entirety.
Almost 20,000 people were murdered and 1.3 million people violently assaulted in the US in 2006. 80% of these crimes were committed by repeat offenders, criminals who had been previously convicted of violent crimes. There were only 53 criminals executed in that same time. Every time a violent criminal is put to death, it saves the lives of 18 people on average. Between 1967 and 1977 there were no violent criminals put to death and the homicide rate doubled. Something to consider.
You'll note that you do, in fact, draw conclusions -- specifically, you state that executing a "violent criminal" saves the lives of 18 people.
You clearly imply that the increase in murder rate between 1967-1977 results from the lack of executions during that time -- "something to consider".
At any rate, there's a huge difference between "violent criminals" and "people who commit murder." Your "raw statistics" have nothing to do with the murder rate.
