Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The Deterrence theory is a theory in criminology whic suggests that the possible threats of punishment will help to reduce the amount of crimes in a society.

But, according to the study by Death Penalty Information Center, punishment has not improved these numbers, instead there are more crimes committed.

The informal controls that are supposed to be highly influential in reductions  of crimes are families and communities ties. These bonds are considered to be the most influential elements that helps to deter crime rates in any society. Having a loving and affectionate environment at home prevents a child to involve into any delinquent activities and thus keeps him/her away from criminal activities.

Thus the correct answer is option A.

Are we doing enough to tackle racism? <br> Let me know your opinions.
Aliun [14]

We have not done enough. In fact, we are making this situation worse. Racism is not something to tolerate with through violence, I think if we actually solved the problem with peace and change the minds of others, we will do better. I know someone who was anti-racist, but he got targetted from an anti-racist group and it changed him into a racist. (His name is Paul Miller, he is really inspirational if I am honest)
