For the first question, the correct answer is B. Specific deterrence is a strategy that focuses on preventing a particular offender from committing future criminal acts. It aims to deter the individual offender from engaging in further crime by imposing penalties or consequences that act as a deterrent. This differs from general deterrence, which seeks to discourage others from committing crimes by making an example of a particular offender.
Regarding the second question, when the time a person spends in jail awaiting trial is not counted as part of the final sentence, it is commonly referred to as "time served" (option B). This means that the time spent in jail before the trial will not be deducted from the final sentence if the person is convicted. It is important to note that terminology may vary in different jurisdictions and legal systems. So, although it may not be covered in your book, "time served" is a widely recognized term used in this context.
