> "Deterrence" has generally been found to be a pretty well-rooted myth.

I'm interested in learning more. Do you have some good resources you could point me to?

Not who you're responding to but for humans there were studies on "positive reinforcement" (praise) vs "negative reinforcement" (punish).

I don't have links to studies handy but those are terms to search around.

The term is “positive punishment”, not “negative reinforcement”
