Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that a "get tough" approach, such as increased penalties and stricter enforcement, may have a deterrent effect on white-collar criminals who are motivated by monetary gain and are more likely to weigh the potential consequences of their actions. On the other hand, common criminals may be more impulsive and less likely to consider the consequences of their actions. The other options, such as terrorists, high-level drug dealers, and juvenile defenders, may require different approaches for deterrence.
