Answer:

Because of informational social influence.

Explanation:

The message worked better than telling people other reasons why they should conserve energy because of <em>informational social influence</em>. Social influence refers to how people change their thoughts, or behavior to conform to the others and to be liked by them. People pay close attention to the behavior of others and imitate it. Recent studies showed that direct observation of others is not necessary if you communicate the norm as it was done in this case. People will change their behavior and they will start conserving energy as their neighbors do.

RSB [31]

Answer:

Modest short term deterrent, but will need mass executions to be effective

Explanation:

The question has already been answered but I guess you need an explanation.

In the deterrence theory by Professor Land and his colleagues, they assumes that offenders are rational, I.e. they know the law and the penalties attached to defaulting the law..

They're are three points to take note of in this study;

1. For execution to have a deterrent effect, then it means a huge number of execution must have taken place

2. Most of any deterrent effect of execution of homicide occurs immediately after the execution is made public

3. 5 to 10 homicides would deterred in a year if there are 10 to 20 executions using 0.5 homicides deterred on a monthly basis.
