By "murderer," here, do you mean someone who has actually committed murder?
yeah. mostly. Though it would be nice to catch murderers before they kill anyone. At this point tho, I dont think we are generally rational enough to figure out in advance who the murderers are without huge collateral disutility.
I'm going to stop discussing this because it is about to get dangerously mindkillery.
Depends how far in advance you're looking. Aiming a loaded gun, or charging forward while screaming and brandishing something sharp and heavy, provide very solid evidence before any injury is done, and modern medicine can turn what seemed like successful murder back into 'attempted' by making it possible to recover after the injury.
