Answer:

<h3>True.</h3>

Explanation:

If the punishment for a specific crime is increased and the effectiveness and efficiency of the criminal justice system are improved, then the number of people engaging in that crime should decline.

This maybe be attributed to the psychological factor of putting fear and intimidation into the minds of the potential offenders. Establishing stricter punishments and longer sentencing may refrain individuals from committing an offence.

Criminal deterrence may occur through various ways. But surely, enhancing punishments and improving effectiveness and efficiency of the criminal justice system may greatly reduce the number of crimes.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Relativism  

Explanation:

Relativism is the part of meta-ethics. It is discussed widely out from the philosophical. This topic is controversial among philosophers and non-philosophers. Some philosophers are quite critical about the relativism. But other philosophers favor the formation of the moral relativism. It was not so much hot topic among philosophers in the 20th century.  

Thus capital punishment is a different moral question for Nomadic peoples who were living in tents. So that the societies need more security prisons involved the relativism.
