President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order reinstating the federal death penalty, reversing a moratorium set by former President Biden. Trump argues that capital punishment is necessary for deterring violent crime, despite overwhelming evidence disputing this claim. Research indicates that states without the death penalty often experience lower murder rates. The Scientific American editorial board denounced the practice, calling it unethical and discriminatory. Additionally, studies reveal that many victims' families find no closure in executions, often benefiting more psychologically in states that ban capital punishment.
