what has that got to do with the death penalty?
has the death penalty been introduced, or its scope widened over those 5 years? No. So it clearly isn't the factor. More likely to be the case in the US is that the areas where gun crime is vastly more comon (i.e. ghettoised black communities ) have been so successfully cut off from US society (look at how shocked Americans were when such poverty was revealed by Katrina) that many many gun crimes are no longer reported and so don't appear in the statistics. The police simply have no interest in protecting those areas or their inhabitants because it isn't deemed cost effective.
