  2. closed-circuit television
    a television system that is not used for broadcasting but is connected by cables to designated monitors (as in a factory or theater)
    Some suggest that potential offenders are more likely to be deterred by the threat of being caught rather than the threat of punishment, citing an example of the crime rate falling dramatically in areas where closed-circuit television surveillance systems were introduced.[citation needed] General deterrence has also been heavily criticised for relying on publicity of heavy punishments; it has been described as "the least effective and least fair principle of sentencing".[3]

    a justly deserved penalty
    The argument that deterrence, rather than retribution, is the main justification for punishment is a hallmark of the rational choice theory and can be traced to Cesare Beccaria whose well-known treatise On Crimes and Punishments (1764), condemned torture and the death penalty and Jeremy Bentham who made two distinct attempts during his life to critique the death penalty.[1]

    Evidence also suggests that the private ownership and use of firearms deters criminal behavior.[2]
