This line of reasoning interests me because it seems to arise in other contexts as well.

Do very harsh punishments significantly reduce future occurrences of the offense in question?

I've heard opponents of the death penalty argue that it's generallynot the case. E.g., because often the criminals aren't reasoning in terms that factor in the death penalty.

On the other hand (and perhaps I'm misinformed), I've heard that some countries with death penalties for drug dealers have genuinely fewer problems with drug addiction. Lower, I assume, than the numbers you'd get from simply executing every user.

So I'm curious where the truth lies.

Is the death penalty scarier than life in prison?

I assume that depends on the individual.

But FWIW, my point was about very harsh punishments in general, not specifically the death penalty.

I'm not sure it was meant that way, but nice metaphor. For some students "academic death" might really be better than a life of being trapped in a system that they can only navigate by cheating.
