givi [52]4 years ago

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.

Expectations that define appropriate or inappropriate behavior for the occupant of a status are called ________.a. Roles.b. Folk
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The expectations are called A. Roles.

Explanation:

A role refers to the <em>position an individual carries within society</em>, which comes with certain expectations. Since the individual carries a certain status with this role, there is a definition of what are <em>appropriate and inappropriate behaviors</em> regarding his/her position.

For example, a school principal has a high status and position within the school community. He/she is required to set a good example for the community so there are expectations regarding an appropriate behavior such as providing support to the staff, for example. An inappropriate behavior would be engaging in illicit acts, for example.

The way members of a culture are taught to think and reason has little to do with how messages are interpreted.
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>This is false. Concepts of reasoning and belief (as brought about by being taught about these ideas by elders and other authority figures) are hugely linked to how messages are seen and interpreted. Two cultures that put importance on completely different ideas can take the same message and interpret it as a friendly notion or a grave threat.</span>
