Rational Choice and Deterrence

Assuming the rational choice theory is true, why is deterrence the best way to prevent crime?

What is the CRAVED Model? Discuss three factors from this model that would indicate a higher chance of theft occurring.

The concept of general deterrence states that crime can be controlled by making sure the punishment outweighs the benefits of the crime. Why would this help control crime?

Why does the "just desert" model suggest that punishment based on deterrence or incapacitation is wrong? What do you think?

Exit ticket: Overall, do you believe that the rational choice theory is true? To what degree do you think it's true (always true, true most of the time. sometimes true, rarely true, never true)? Explain your opinion. Give at least two specific reasons to support your answer.
