What are some modifications of the neoclassical movement that influenced the resurgence of deterrence theory?

What will be an ideal response?


Possible answer: The most dramatic change that the neoclassical movement employed to make classical theory modern was shifting to the concepts of ‘bounded rationality' and ‘bounded free will' instead of universal rationality and free will. These concepts conceded that environmental, biological, psychological, among other constraints limited one's free will across all of the decisions they make. Thus, a system of rewards and punishments must co-exist with these constraints across individuals. This will help to explain some, not all, of the variation of decision-making from person to person.
