Knowing you have punishment doesn't.... like the PDF says. However the PDF doesn't tell you the crime rates for Countries that broadcast the executions, for a reason.

I'd say that public executions would definitely slow crime rates... and I mean the type of public where everyone is watching...
On a side note, I'm a big supporter of increasing penalties for violent crime and decreasing penalties for non violent crime...
