An example of specific deterrence would be a sentence designed to ...

• A. Warn The Public Not To Commit Crimes
• B. Prevent Others In Society From Offending
• C. Remove The Offender's Ability To Commit Crimes Temporarily
• D. Deter A Particular Offender From Reoffending

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is specific deterrence, which targets the individual who has already offended. A sentence designed to deter a particular offender from reoffending uses punishment to influence that person’s future behavior, with the aim of preventing them from committing crimes again. This is different from general deterrence, which tries to discourage the public at large by making an example of the offender, and from incapacitation, which focuses on removing the offender’s ability to commit crimes. So the option that focuses on preventing the same person from reoffending is the best fit for specific deterrence.
