Yes and no, some people do not kill because there are concequences be they moral or legal. Without the death penalty/life sentance there would be way more killing logically. But I think being killed in any fashion will do the trick, it is losing a life that matters not how it is taken. But he is right there has not been a substantial drop in murder because of the electric chair, its point is to scare but more importantly vendicate.
