there are, that more crime will happen. There is no simple statistical relationship between homicide and gun ownership or other violent crimes. During the first thirty years of this century, U.S. handgun ownership per capita remained steady, but homicide rates rose greatly by 100%. Coincidentally, between the years of 1937 and 1963, handgun ownership rose dramtically by 250 percent, and as a result the homicide rates fell by 35 percent (Lic Phil). Switzerland, through its military system, issues…

Lombroso says it makes sense that uncivilized societies like Italy and Spain have such a high rate of homicides, but why is America showing this increase in homicides? Lombroso argues that the following factors are to blame, specifically focusing on why certain parts of the country have many more homicides than others: 1.

about if capital punishment is acting as deterrence to crimes or is capital punishment just another way to kill people. As this essay has shown that capital punishment if not as effective as society needs it to be because there is more and more homicides every day.
