With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most【1】issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent to murder,【2】others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.

Since 1964 the death penalty has been【19】only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10. 4 murders for each 100,000 population. The sharp climb in the state’s murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no【20】
