From the material I have gathered after reading on the connection between capital punishment and deterrence, I was able to become quite enlightened. I must say that I never completely took an interest in this topic since I usually only saw or heard one side of the debate, which is capital punishment is a momentous deterrent. However, after gaining more insightful information, I realized that those who feel as though capital punishment isn't a substantial deterrent have more evidence to back up their claim. Personally, if I placed in jail overnight or in a holding cell , would deter me from trying to committing a minor misdemeanor or even a felony. The topic of deterrence can be entirely subjective depending on the individual or group of individuals
