    Ofc crime will go down as people get more educated, but crime is still too high, the reason it was so high before is that people though that ‘honour killing’ is completely fine and that rape is a way to show dominance and that women are inferior, but look at today countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE, even if the laws are not strictly imposed, crime is low, it might also a get a bit lower if people start changing their somewhat conservative mindset, our first priority is to tell people that this is wrong, I am tired of repeating the same thing again and again to people but I am not saying death penalty is right in every case, if someone is insane, not educated, then they should surely be given rehab, but people who are well aware of what they are doing and kill for their own benefit should not be given the same leniency (see corporations for eg, and bill gates, who purposely killed millions by privatizing vaccine, all of them are very well aware of what they are doing, and killing for their own benefit, these are the type of people that should be made an example), crime is also low in countries where people are very well educated, but I am sure we can make almost non existent if we combine both, make an example of someone who rapes children for their own pleasure or take someone elses life to make their own a little bit better
