A new supermarket is being built. The county has required the owner to designate at least eight handicap parking spaces. The county installed a sign in front of each space to indicate that it is reserved for vehicles with a proper sticker. The sign also announces a $250 fine for violators. The intention behind the sign is to announce to the community at large that there will be a stiff penalty to pay for violating the rule. The belief is that drivers who risk a small fine by parking illegally elsewhere, such as against the curb, will not risk the large fine for parking illegally in the handicap spaces. This point of view is known as: a. incapacitation. b. general deterrence. c. specific deterrence. d. expiation.
