Yes. One only has to look at the increase in murder and attempted murder rates after its abolition in 1965 to see that it had a significant deterrent effect. Advances in DNA evidence and the ruling out of confessions (see the Birmingham 6 and Guildford 4) removes nearly all the risks of incorrect conviction. |
