10 States with Lowest Murder Rates and No Death Penalty

You must be wondering how could the murder rates be lower in states with no death penalty. What could be the reasons and controlling factors in those states which keep the murder rates lower without having any death punishment? Insidermonkey has compiled a list of such states for you which have lowest murder rates and no death penalty.

The 3 states on our list that have the lowest murder rates are actually the ones that have the lowest murder rates in the entire US (counting states with the death penalty). This is a very interesting fact, because it raises many questions about the effect that capital punishment has on people, especially on criminals.

Just as there are studies that indicate that the death penalty has no noticeable effect in deterring crimes, there are also studies with results favoring the opposite statement. It is only fair to say that there is no proper scientific evidence that can confirm one or the other beyond reasonable doubt.
