I think it is, though. "Recidivism" means that a person falls back into a life of crime. It indicates that new crimes are being committed. If you advocate capital punishment as a preventative for recidivism, you're advocating killing a person to prevent him from something he hasn't done yet.

"Recidivism" means that a person falls back into a life of crime. It indicates that new crimes are being committed. That is exactly my point. I do not nor did not advocate a preemptive application of capital punishment for a person who has not yet committed a heinous crime.
