Does it deter criminal homicides?

This is not in MLA or APA format. The format is putting answers after each question. 1. Are the sentencing guidelines we have today effective? 2. Do you think the courts should get tougher? 3. What are some viable alternatives to longer sentences (and do they provide for rehabilitation,

deterrence, and/or retribution)? 4. Regarding the “Three Strikes” provision, should a mandatory life sentence behind bars be the ultimate sentence for a habitual offender (even if some felonies aren’t really “serious crimes”)? 5. What solutions can you suggest to resolve the problems being

encountered in some of these sentences? 6. Is the death penalty unfair, cruel, or unjust? Give details, and descriptions, and name some incidents. (PERSONAL) 7. Does it deter criminal homicides? 8. Do convicted killers deserve to be executed for their crimes? Give details, and descriptions,

and name some incidents. (PERSONAL) 9. If capital punishment continues, should executions ever be carried out in public, or perhaps televised to serve as a warning and as a deterrent to others? Give details, and descriptions, and name some incidents.
