Death penalty isn't an effective deterrent for a very simple reason: try to imagine yourself dead. You just can't, it is impossible for human beings to imagine themselves as non-living. On top of that problem, the majority of the criminals getting caught are of a below average intelligence or imagination.

I have a few ideas of effective deterrents, they're not very politically correct or even feasible yet.
