Rational choice theories preceded biological and psychological approaches: reaction against unjust, arbitrary and severe forms of punishment associated with absolute monarchies and religious rule. Needs to be a connection between the severity of the crime and the severity of the punishment. Severity criminals do not want pain, they do not want their freedom taken away 2. Swiftness the swifter the punishment is, the greater deterrence it will have, it will send a clear message that the conduct is wrong, it will help make a strong deterrent effect. You will be caught quickly: there are 2 forms of deterrence 1. Specific prevent reoffending of the individual, don"t want them to commit a crime again 2. General prevent re-offenses of the general public. People will be deterred from committing a crime due to the 3 listed above, due to their knowledge and awareness.

(examples):

The punishment given for crimes can be divided into two categories, the severity of punishment and the certainty of punishment. The severity of punishment means the sanctions a criminal may face, these range from low severity such as parole, community service and low fines, to high severity such as lethal injection, long prison sentence and high fines. The certainty of punishment is based on investigation techniques and higher resources for prosecutors, this ensures the evidence is accurately matched to the crime which would increase the severity of the punishment.

Microeconomics has traditionally been built on the foundation of rational choice. However, since the 70's insights from blending psychology and economics have been changing the landscape. Some have argued this new line of thinking, most often associated with behavioral economics, has laid waste to the micro model of choice.

To what extent does the rational choice model have a future? Can it absorb the new insights from behavioral? Do you think we will have two competing models of choice going forward?
