Destroying that aspect of society will reduce the amount of drug related crime. Then that money will be used to set up treatment centers and rehabilitation clinics across America to help the already addicts. Keep in mind, legalization of drugs is not the only answer, yet is a definitive step in the right direction. Education is the key to battling drug abuse, but that is a different topic. Nullifying the drug trade is the best way to start combating drug related crime, like domestic violence and murder. It has been proven that these types of crimes stem from the drug trade, so it is a necessity to root out all illegal trafficking of narcotics.

Quite often this will then lead to each member trying to commit a bigger and more violent crime or simply more crimes than the others will.

This decline creates a situation in which the death penalty ceases to be a deterrent when the populace begins to think that one can get away with a crime and go unpunished. Also, the less that the death sentence is used, the more it becomes unusual, thus coming in conflict with the eighth amendment. This is essentially a paradox, in which the less the death penalty is used, the less society can legally use it. The end result is a punishment that ceases to deter any crime at all. The key part of the death penalty is that it involves death -- something which is rather permanent for humans, due to the concept of mortality.
