This particular reference differs in the fact that, it basis its research and analysis on the aspect of asking if juvenile offenders are even aware of transfer laws. Juvenile offenders are asked if they believe that these laws will be applied towards them and if, being aware of these types of laws have any effects on criminal behavior. I found this reference beneficial to my initial response because, it explains the differences between general and specific deference. This reference also applies several study results from applied research findings over the effects of deterrence on both the juvenile and public safety.
