Specific deterrence is punishment to the individual to stop that individual from committing other crimes in the future. This type of deterrence is used to teach the individual a
The theories of situational crime prevention as well as routine activity imply a series of opportunities available to criminals which could have been prevented if the victim had behaved in a different way (Bohm & Vogel, 2011). There are several offenses committed daily where some level of fault falls upon the victim.
