Could this be the reason Singapore has low crime rates.
Capital offencesEdit
In addition to the Penal Code, there are four Acts of Parliament that prescribe death as punishment for offences. According to a Singaporean civil rights group, the Think Centre, 70% of hangings are for drug-related offences.[30] In 2017, all 8 hangings were for drug offences that year, and 11 of 13 in 2018.[16]
Penal CodeEdit
Under the Penal Code,[31] the commission of the following offences may result in the death penalty:
- Waging or attempting to wage war or abetting the waging of war against the government (§121)
- Offences against the president's person (in other words, treason) (§121A)
- Piracy that endangers life (§130B) (mandatory)
- Genocide resulting in death (§130E) (mandatory)
- Abetting of mutiny (§132)
- Perjury that results in the execution of an innocent person (§194)
- Murder (§302) (mandatory)
- Abetting the suicide of a person under the age of 18 or an "insane" person (§305)
- Attempted murder by a prisoner serving a life sentence (§307 (2)) (mandatory)
- Kidnapping in order to commit murder (§364)
- Robbery committed by five or more people that results in the death of a person (§396)
Arms Offences ActEdit
The Arms Offences Act under Singapore law regulates criminal offences dealing with firearms and weapons.[33] Any person who uses or attempts to use arms (Section 4) can face execution, as well as any person who uses or attempts to use arms to commit scheduled offences (Section 4A). These scheduled offences are being a member of an unlawful assembly; rioting; certain offences against the person; abduction or kidnapping; extortion; burglary; robbery; preventing or resisting arrest; vandalism; mischief. Any person who is an accomplice (Section 5) to a person convicted of arms use during a scheduled offence can likewise be executed.
Trafficking in arms (Section 6) is a capital offence in Singapore. Under the Arms Offences Act, trafficking is defined as being in unlawful possession of more than two firearms.
Misuse of Drugs ActEdit
The Singapore embarkation card contains a warning to visitors about the death penalty for drug trafficking. Warning signs can also be found at the Johor-Singapore Causeway and other border entries.
Under Schedule 2 of the Misuse of Drugs Act,[34][35] any person importing, exporting, or found in possession of more than the following quantities of drugs receives a mandatory death sentence:
- 1200 grams of opium and containing more than 30 grams of morphine (§5 and §7, (2)(b));
- 30 grams of morphine (§5 and §7, (3)(b));
- 15 grams of diamorphine (heroin) (diamo (§5 and §7, (4)(b));
- 30 grams of cocaine (§5 and §7, (5)(b));
- 500 grams of cannabis (§5 and §7, (6)(b));
- 1000 grams of cannabis mixture (§5 and §7, (7)(b));
- 200 grams of cannabis resin (§5 and §7, (8)(b));
- 250 grams of methamphetamine (§5 and §7, (9)(b)).
- Morphine, or any salt of morphine, ester of morphine or salt of ester of morphine (§6, (2));
- Diamorphine (heroin) or any salt of diamorphine (§6, (3));
- Cocaine or any salt of cocaine (§6, (4));
- Methamphetamine (§6, (5)).
any person who is proved to have had in his possession or custody or under his control —
- anything containing a controlled drug;
- the keys of anything containing a controlled drug;
- the keys of any place or premises or any part thereof in which a controlled drug is found; or
- a document of title relating to a controlled drug or any other document intended for the delivery of a controlled drug,
Furthermore, any person who has a controlled drug in his possession shall be presumed to have known the nature of that drug.[citation needed]
The majority of executions in Singapore are for drug offences. Since 2010, 23 prisoners have been executed for drug offences, while only 5 have been executed for other offences, such as murder. Death penalty supporters, such as the blogger Benjamin Chang, claim that Singapore has one of the lowest prevalence of drug abuse worldwide: he claims, for instance, that over two decades, the number of drug abusers arrested each year has declined by two-thirds, from over 6,000 in the early 1990s to about 2,000 in 2011.[36] The validity of these figures is disputed by other Singaporeans, such as the Singaporean drugs counsellor Tony Tan.[37] The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime notes that Singapore remains a transit destination for drug traffickers in Asia, drug seizures continue to increase and heroin drug use within Singapore is continuing to rise.[38]
Internal Security ActEdit
The preamble of the Internal Security Act states that it is an Act to "provide for the internal security of Singapore, preventive detention, the prevention of subversion, the suppression of organised violence against persons and property in specified areas of Singapore, and for matters incidental thereto."[39] The President of Singapore has the power to designate certain security areas. Any person caught in the possession or with someone in possession of firearms, ammunition or explosives in a security area can be punished by death.
Kidnapping ActEdit
The terms of the Kidnapping Act designate abduction, wrongful restraint or wrongful confinement for ransom as capital offences.

I think we can be safely assured that penalty, punishment or the threat of it does not, on its own, deter crime.Could this be the reason Singapore has low crime rates.

According to a Singaporean civil rights group, the Think Centre, 70% of hangings are for drug-related offences.[30] In 2017, all 8 hangings were for drug offences that year, and 11 of 13 in 2018.[16]
Penal CodeEdit

Otherwise, other countries with equally harsh penalties would also have low crime rates.

Bobby said Sexual abuse is not motivated by racism. It's motivated by sexual desire.

Does this mean the Nazis were not racist?

Prisons in countries where the death penalty is present, are full. Have been busy as long as they've had the death penalty.

What a weird question.
Perpetrators of sexual abuse could easily be racists as well. Both attitudes are not mutually exclusive, nor are they particularly related. Although it's understandable that someone who displays the kind of attitude that is either that of a sexual abuser or a racist, could reinforce their other prejudices and misdemeanours.
I doubt if Jimmy Saville was a racist. I don't suppose Bernard Manning was a sexual abuser.
Marilyn Manson was alleged to be both a sexual abuser and a racist.
What, in your opinion, motivates sexual abuse?

How many re-offenders do they get in USA
Total of 21 executions over 2 years in Singapore.
As I said, threat of penalty is no deterrent for crime.
Education, equality, along with law enforcement is the answer.

To illustrate how and why it was such a weird question.
And because you included my comment and referred to it.

Being a sexual person who has the opportunity to abuse and believes he, she or other will not be caught.
Charles Manson?
