Actually it deters some and is justice to those of us who think this way
I’m all for it
But I have questions about this circumstance....severe brain trauma or surgical excision do alter personality markedly
The dulling especially when loss is frontal lobes raises my interest
I have personal experience with this
Capital criminals have been shown to be deterred because of the death penalty. Even if there was some kind of deterrence there, I’m against unjust deterrence. Torture , etc. would also be deterrents but is doesn’t make it just or right. I’m for deterrence but only from incarceration and for the right reasons.
