Execution also doesn’t reduce offense rates because the severity of punishment doesn’t factor into decision making above “life ruining if convicted” it’s the certainty of being caught that reduces rates. The uk used to hang pickpockets in the town square and you’d get your pockets picked if you stood there watching.

Not to mention, if you’re already going to go away for life just for rape, why not just kill the kid and dump the body in the woods too?
This is exactly what rapists who have been to prison often do because they don’t want to go back.
This just tells me, watching people die induces criminal behavior.
