There is no better example than Singapore possibly the safest place on Earth. Singapore has 12 times the population of Vancouver but just half the crime rate. But in addition to having a death penalty which they do not hesitate to exercise they also have severe penalties for lesser crimes as well. Also, I believe Singaporean culture based on Chinese society generates fewer criminals to begin with. It becomes difficult to say how much the death penalty itself contributes.
In the US we have a death penalty on the books but spending 15 years in jail on appeals with an excellent likelihood that the death penalty will be commuted by a governor or overturned by a court hardly qualifies as a death penalty. In Singapore execution almost always takes place within 60 days of conviction. That is what I consider a deterrent.
