Which theory or combination of theories driving punishment do you personally feel is the best approach to use to deal with crime and why?
Punishment may serve to prevent a person from wanting to commit crimes in the future (deterrence) or they may serve to keep a person from being able to commit a future crime (incapacitate). However, one factor has been found to have a major influence on reducing future crime, and that is the CERTAINTY of punishment. The severity of punishment has some degree of effect, but when a person is CERTAIN that they WILL be caught, and they WILL be punished, crime decreases.
