The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is one of five objectives that punishment is thought to achieve, the other four objectives are denunciation, incapacitation, retribution and rehabilitation.
- Criminal deterrence theory has two possible applications: the first is that punishments imposed on individual offenders will deter or prevent that particular offender from committing further crimes, the second is that public knowledge that certain offences will be punished has a generalised deterrent effect which prevents others from committing crimes.
- Two different aspects of punishment may have an impact on deterrence, the first being the certainty of punishment, by increasing the likelihood of apprehension and punishment, this may have a deterrent effect.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Deterrence article was read about 14,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 54: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
