No, it it simply governmental murder. It has no effect on the murder rate. If an innocent person is executed, then they can't be un-exectuted if new evidence is found. It costs a fortune because of appeals. By saying that murder of any kind is justified, even that sanctioned by the government, it puts into some people's minds that they can find more personal reasons to kill.
