Answer:

The correct answer is d) people have to perceive consequences as unpleasant and act rationally.

Explanation:

Deterrence theory states that preventing crime is possible only by effects of the threat of punishment, relying on the assumption that humans are motivated to avoid pain and obtain pleasure. Thus, deterrence can dissuade a criminal from taking action, based solely on a credible and certain threat of punishment. This psychological assumption is linked to rational choice theories.

The deterrence theory also states that severity of punishment will do little to deter crime and that certainty of punishment has a greater impact on crime deterrence than severity.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

the transferring of goods and ideas between Europe and the Americas

Europe sent its explorers for the 3 G's: Gold, Glory, and God. So any crops that Europe could make off its new country, they would use for their own benefit.

It is thanks to the Columbian Exchange that we have tomatoes which is cool if you think about it.

Hope this helps :)
