"It seems reasonable to assume that almost all adults in Canada and the United States have, at some time, been deterred from a criminal offense by considering the possible legal consequences. However, this common sense assumption, or even ubiquitous individual personal experience, may not constitute a sufficient evidential basis for the justification of legal sanctions in terms of their intended deterrent effects. The question is whether the deterrent effects result in the suppression and reduction of more crime than, a) the consequences flowing from other kinds of legal sanctions, not justified by deterrence outcomes, or and/or b) any other factors other than legal sanctions"--Introduction, p. v-vi. gccst Legal issues gccst Research gccst Crime prevention Canada.
