Fred is a 20-year-old who lives in a large metropolitan city. He graduated high school but decided that he would get a job immediately following high school instead of going to college. He thought making money at that moment was more important than furthering his education. Now, Fred realizes he is stuck at a dead-end job making minimum wage and is tired of working so many hours and making so little money. Fred begins committing burglary in order to supplement his income. Fred hears on the local news about Senate Bill 101.c, which states that the first conviction for burglary will result in a mandatory 10-year sentence. Out of fear for this punishment, Fred no longer commits burglaries. This is most related to ______.

A. general deterrence

D. displacement deterrence
