  • Descrição: La recherche sur l'effet dissuasif des peines donne lieu a une impressionnante production quantitative, souvent indigeste et discordante. Une exploration des equipes qui travaillent sur la correlation executions-homicides permet d'identifier une ' minorite bruyante ' de recherches tres favorable a la peine de mort. Connaitre l'auteur d'un article dans ce domaine est un meilleur predicteur des correlations trouvees que le type de donnees utilisees. On decouvre alors un profil de l'auteur qui a une proportion importante de resultats favorables a la peine de mort : il s'agit d'un economiste americain qui ne se presente pas comme specialiste du crime et qui enseigne dans une faculte moins prestigieuse que celle ou il a soutenu sa these, alors que les sociologues et les economistes des facultes hautement classes ont tendance a trouver des resultats plus proches d'un effet ' zero ' de la peine de mort sur l'homicide Rational choice theory has given birth to a massive amount of quantitative empirical knowledge on the deterrent effect of punishment, a field in which results are often confusing and discordant. This paper explores the research communities working on the correlation between executions and homicides, and identifies a ' vocal minority ' of academics who are very favorable to the death penalty. Knowing the name of the author of an article is a better predictor of the correlations found by the article that the type of data used. This study also shows the typical profile of an author who has a large amount of pro-death penalty results: an American economist, who does not present himself as a specialist in crime and punishment, and who teaches in a faculty ranked lower than the one where he obtained his PhD. On the other hand, sociologists and economists of high-ranking universities tend to find results closer to a ' zero ' effect of the death penalty on homicide. Adapted from the source document.
