Respuesta :
There are two types of deterrence: general and specific. General deterrence is punishment to an individual to stop the society as a whole from committing crimes. In other word, it is using the punishment as an example to “scare” society from precipitating in criminal acts.
Answer:
General deterrence is the theory that if people see the punishments given to offenders, they are less likely to commit those crimes
Specific deterrence occurs whenever a person is punished harshly for the crime committed to prevent them from repeating the crime.
