5. Capital punishment is clearly an effective deterrent Look at Saudi Arabia:they behead people there, and their crime rate is very low. square Fallacy:

Fallacy: **False Cause (specifically, *cum hoc ergo propter hoc*) / Oversimplification / Hasty Generalization**Explanation:This argument commits the fallacy of false cause by assuming that because two things occur together (beheadings and low crime rates), one causes the other. It's possible that Saudi Arabia's low crime rate is due to factors completely unrelated to capital punishment, such as strong social controls, religious influence, effective policing, or under-reporting of crime. The argument oversimplifies a complex issue by focusing on a single factor and ignoring other potential contributing factors. It also makes a hasty generalization by using a single example (Saudi Arabia) to draw a conclusion about the effectiveness of capital punishment in general. Many other countries with low crime rates do not have capital punishment, and some countries with capital punishment have high crime rates.
