What is deterrence? Discuss the difference between the two primary types of deterrence and provide examples of each.
What will be an ideal response?
Deterrence serves either to stop crime in the first place-general deterrence-or to stop an offender from offending again-specific deterrence. For example, strict drunk driving laws have a general deterrent effect on the public at large, while the experience of losing a driving license might specifically deter an individual from driving drunk again.
