But this is quite a different kettle of fish. You are talking about murder for monetary or personal reasons - crimes of passion or greed. I'm talking about murder (or terrorism) for political reasons - crimes that by nature require planning a forethought. If they must think to plan their crime, they just might think about the consequences at the same time.

Actually, I said the opposite. I don't think DP is a deterent. And as far as the stats for countries that don't have the DP, don't confuse cause with effect. They may not want the DP because their crime stats are good, not the other way around.
