    They know how to stop crime

    Edit: you may not like the method but it’s seemingly way more effective than many other developed countries. Of course lots of factors at play here.

      They know how to worsen the problem when the drug traffickers now start weaponizing and killing. Since instead of a few years in jail, they now get hanged, why bother with not committing violent crimes, you get killed anyway.

        That’s a nice theory, but unfortunately doesn’t seem to be the case here. Their violent crime rates are wayyyy below most other countries. The numbers speak for themselves. I’m not supporting execution, just saying that whatever they’re doing is working.

        Not defending execution here, but is that the case in Singapore?

          They do other things than just hangings. I wouldn’t suggest that executive punishment is a solution to crime rates, just look at the USA.

            Yeah other harsh penalties and strict laws. US death penalty is not a fair comparison because it varies state to state as do gun laws.
