>Ok, first of all, the death penalty has not been abolished in the US, only in certain states.

Are you a millennial, foreign? It was abolished in the 1970's and then re-instated. If you're a child you're too young to know about such things.

During the 1970's when there was no death penalty, the murder rate was shown to have markedly increased. This is often known as the golden age of the serial killer in the US, as many serial killers were active during this period and often had large body counts of over 20 to 30 victims. This was the period in time that the term was invented as a result of Ted Bundy.

>For 2014, the average Murder Rate of Death Penalty states was 4.7, while the average Murder Rate of States without the Death Penalty was 3.8

What is population density and size. The state of Texas is biggern than many of those liberal non-death penalty states. And this does not treat states such as California which have the death penalty but don't carry it out as non-death penalty states. Nor does it factor in the years it takes to carry out a single execution in many of those states; imposed by anti-death penalty activists to try and render capital punishment in-effective. So, people like yourself can google and quote from random websites instead of doing any actual research into the subject.
