    general deterrence

    Explanation:

    The crime control policy that has effect on Trevor that has made him decide never to commit a crime again is general deterrence. General deterrence is a crime policy that is based on the fear of criminal penalties that is targeted on more than a single individual/offender. On the contrary, specific deterrence is focused on deterring a single individual from the path of crime.

    The judges statement is a general deterrent to offenders and individuals and not specific to Trevor, however, Trevor takes it more personally and aims to end the life of crime.
