But my position is based on ample evidence that the death penalty does not actually deter the crimes it punishes. Data collected by the Death Penalty Project at Delhi’s National Law University demonstrate conclusively that there is no statistical correlation between applying the death penalty and preventing murder.
我的观点在印度并不受欢迎，我所在政党都拒绝承认我的声明。但我有充分证据表明死刑实际并未对其惩戒的犯罪起到遏制作用。德里国家法律大学死刑项目搜集的数据表明适用死刑和防止谋杀之间根本不存在统计数据上的相关性。该证据与其他国家研究都得出了相似的结论。
