Can you find a statistic of how many murders go unsolved? That is, there might also be an incentive to literally "get away with murder", if the odds are good enough. That, too, would influence a homicide rate, whether capital punishment is in effect or not. |
Its probably there too, but I don't think that changes much from a set rate. It would be a pretty flat statistic. It would of course get better with technology, but forensics is never black and white as shown on CSI.

PS. This has no bearing on the numbers above however.
