Answer to Question 1
When punishment is applied, there is a general deterrent effect, which is designed to signal the community that crime does not pay.
By severely punishing those people convicted of crime, others who are thinking about committing a crime will be frightened or deterred.
The philosophy of specific deterrence focuses on the fact that individual offenders should learn firsthand that crime does not pay when they experience harsh criminal penalties.
Essentially, the suffering caused by punishment should inhibit future criminal activities.
