Yes, I agree with you that justice does not mean vengeance..

With respect to deterrence aspect, See,we in India have death penalty and yet there are horrible crimes like rapes and murder. So it is not deterrent. In my view, life imprisonment is sufficient and for deterrence what we require is assured and quick punishment, not death penalty.

The countries you have mentioned have retained it, but they are in minority as you say.
