That can have various reasons. It could be peer pressure, mental illness, depression, troubled home life. Perhaps they are not feeling connected to the community, where values exist against stealing, harming someone or otherwise disregarding the rights of someone else.

Do you agree that the Death Penalty is useful in decreasing crime rates?

Well I think all punishment decreases crime rates but I think the death penalty decreases the most amount of crime. However, it remains extremely difficult to show a relationship between crime rates and the death penalty, and it's questionable whether a criminal that would be willing commit a crime that is punishable by life in prison would be deterred by a possible death penalty. The stakes are so high in both cases that the punishment likely isn't a determinate on whether the criminal will proceed.
