Pro-DP graphs/charts

[Eggsmaman]

Hi. I have to do a presentation for pro-dp. and i was wondering if anyone here could post pics/links of any graphs that support why the US should still have the death penalty.

Thank you

It's a moral issue. You don't need graphs.

well seeing as I am an anti I wont have any and if I did there would eb moral reasons for not passing on such dribble.
Correct me if I am worng, but dont you think they are expecting you to look at the statistics and produce your own graph in whatever way you think is neccessary to convey the outocme info?

Looking at another chart on that site, there has been a steady decline in the clearance rate for murder. The trend should be reverse, given advances in forensic methodology and technology. Do you have some kind of a chart that can explain this deterioration of the capture rate?

You're right. There were 18,780 murders in 1976, with 79% cleared by arrest(s); 16,740 murders in 2005, with 62% cleared by arrest(s). I have no idea. Maybe someone in law enforcement could explain it. I sure can't.
