We hear a lot of people, including law makers, talking about deterring crime? Please discuss the following in detail:

• What is deterrence?
• What is the difference between specific and general deterrence?
• What are the pros and cons of each type?
• Provide examples of deterrence policies that have been put in place to deep people from offending/reoffending?
• Have they been successful?
• Discuss how the fines and use of cash bail in Ferguson increased crime rather that deterred it.
