My topic was on the death penalty and deterrence. If you decide to do this topic or something around the death penalty, be aware that there is not much support for the opposing side which makes it hard sometimes. Death penalty does not deter major crimes and there is a lot off research and support proving that;however, there is not much at all arguing that it does deter crime, so that makes it very difficult.
