The data in paragraph 5 illustrate that ______
A.the deterrence theory is correct
B.the deterrence theory doesn"t hold water
C.the number of murders usually drops following a year of record execution
D.the murderer would think twice before they kill if they are aware of the consequence
参考答案
正确答案:B
解析:1903年和1946年死刑的执行率创历史最高水平(the record year for executions),但在随后的年度中(1904和1947年),杀人案的数量不但没有下降,反而上升了。可见“严惩以威慑”的理论站不住脚。
