    In England and Wales, the murder rate has risen substantially since the death penalty was abolished in 1965.
    But the population has gone up, is less homogenous and there are far more lethal weapons in circulation.

    "You can't say that the death penalty has no deterrent effect. But there is no evidence that it is more influential than Life Without Parole sentences and first-class detection techniques."

    Perhaps the most striking difference between Britain and the US is the number of homicides committed with firearms.

    In the States, it is around 70%. Here, some 6%.
