If offenders are rational, they should be deterred by punishment. This is spiritual deterrence: not always fear that deters one from engaging in crime. People would feel bad for committing a crime. Incapacitation strategies: lock someone up until they"re old so they"re not capable of committing any more crimes, take away someone"s licence etc. What makes a person deterrable : must be a rational thinker. Must be intellectually mature: must be conscious of the long-term consequences of their actions, must care about what other people think (informal deterrence, must have a stake in conformity. Many people are impulsive, have never learnt self-control.
