abstract="The threat of punishment contained in criminal law does not only work through fear, but may also have moral or educative effects. This article analyzes these effects and assesses the scanty evidence regarding their importance; it also includes a discussion of the relevance of psychological theory and research for an evaluation of the deterrent effects of criminal law. Although psychological theory and experiment may give suggestions, concepts, and research methods of interest to the lawyer, there is little which can be of direct application. The questions confronting the lawyer are so specific that they ask for specific research.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
