GENERAL DETERRENCE [5 records]

Record 1 2024-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sentencing
CONT

General deterrence can be described as deterring the general public through awareness of the punishments inflicted for the offense. Proponents of general deterrence believe that awareness of the pain and humiliation of the punishments suffered by offenders, especially capital punishment, discourages members of the public to act in a manner which may subject them to the same fate.

La dissuasion pénale prend généralement deux formes : la dissuasion spécifique, qui a comme objectif de contrecarrer la récidive chez les contrevenants, et la dissuasion générale, dont la visée consiste à dissuader les autres membres de la société qui pourraient être tentés de perpétrer des crimes semblables.

Late in 1967, General Charles Ailleret enunciated an "all-points"(or all-horizons, all-azimuths) deterrence posture for France that he justified on the grounds that by fashioning a threat of nuclear retaliation against any target on the globe, France could avoid involvement in conflicts among nuclear superpowers and hence establish and maintain independence of action toward them.
