Abstract

Restrictive deterrence refers to the strategies offenders use to reduce their risk in response to sanctions. It occurs when offenders reduce the frequency, severity, or duration of their offending, or displace their crimes temporally, spatially, or tactically. We summarize and synthesize qualitative research focused on restrictive deterrence.
