b) false

Respuesta :

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Beccarian model of offending experienced a rebirth largely due to scientific reviews showing that the rehabilitation programs popular during the 1960s had virtually no impact in reducing recidivism among offenders, especially chronic offenders.

This prompted criminologist to go back to their "roots" in concentrating to a high degree in classical/deterrence principle.

Classical theorists such as Beccaria upheld the idea that if individuals see that whatever undesirable activities they undergo will be punished, it will restrict them from committing such offences in the future. It is necessary, that their punishment should be quick and fast so as to deter crime.
