Some people argue that retribution is the purpose of
punishment of a person convicted of a crime, and
that therefore the punishment must in some direct
way fit the crime. Another view, the deterrence theory,
promotes punishment in order to discourage
commission of future crimes. In this view, punishment
need not relate directly to the crime committed.
However, punishment must necessarily be
uniform and consistently applied, in order for the
members of the public to understand how they
would be punished if they committed a crime. According to the passage, what would a person who believes in the deterrence theory likely support?

a) allowing television broadcasts of court proceedings.

b) non-unanimous jury verdicts.

c) early release of prisoners because of prison overcrowding.
