No deterrence is both for the offender and others. As to the offender, the term used is specific deterrence. As to others, the term is general deterrence.


You have identified they can be (imprecisely) used as synonyms, not that they are the same thing. The fact that two different categories exist to explain the phenomenon proves they are not the same thing. Further the fact that my post was using two different terms to describe different goals shows they aren't the same thing.

Usually, when the term deterrence is used without specificity in the legal world it refers to both specific and general.

Anyway, I don't see where the goals you listed have not and are not being accomplished without the NCAA stretching the bounds of its role and authority to deal with this situation. I just think the NCAA isn't the right forum to deal with something so serious.

Again, I see why people are asking for this and don't really care, I am just of the opinion that the NCAA should stay out of it.
