Ok, as the resident pro-death penalty loudmouth I've got to say that I do not believe that capital punishment is a deterrent in the United States. It might have a small effect in states like Virginia and Texas, but even there criminals are far more likely to be killed by their fellow criminals than by the judicial system. And the death penalty in Maryland? Oh man, please don't make me laugh. Let's be honest, the death penalty is about justice/retribution, not deterrence.
Good news, Baltimore officially doesn't such as much as Detroit.
Patin, that's last year's count.
We're still killin'.
Yeah, to be honest I don't place a lot of faith in the numbers from the article I cited. Crime numbers are too easy to manipulate. The regular old murder rate is probably the best guide, since it's a lot harder to hide a body than it is to downgrade an agg. assault.
Some "anonymous" person threatened University of Baltimore on Friday while they were hosting the Chesapeake Bay summit.
A copy cat? Or just some pissed students?
