Module #3: Is it possible to create a method of capital punishment that would actually deter people from committing murder? Would televising executions work? What might be some of the negative consequences of such a policy?

Figuring out a way to make the death penalty stop murders is tricky and argued about a lot, with unclear results. Showing executions on TV to scare people from committing crimes brings up big ethical and psychological issues like making people numb to violence, traumatizing viewers, and possibly hurting human rights. It can make violence seem normal and there could be mistakes in who gets punished. Other options like life in prison, crime prevention programs, and helping offenders change might work better and be kinder ways to cut down on serious crimes.
