The literature relating homicide and capital punishment is reviewed briefly. Despite the "presumed conclusiveness" of the evidence against the death penalty, most studies are shown to suffer from a number of theoretical and methodological shortcomings. To provide a more theoretically sound and comprehensive examination of the question, this paper analyzes alternative data for first and second degree murder and homicide in death penalty and abolition states. Results are essentially consistent with those of earlier investigations.
本文简要回顾了关于杀人罪与死刑的文献。尽管反对死刑的证据具有“假定的决定性”，但大多数研究都存在一些理论和方法上的缺陷。为了对这个问题进行更具理论合理性和全面性的审视，本文分析了死刑州和废除死刑州一级谋杀罪、二级谋杀罪及杀人罪的替代数据。研究结果与早期调查基本一致。
