With the internet and public WWW sites you can't really guarantee the prevention of theft. By the very nature of the WWW access is open to everyone. That is exactly why it is very very critical that the efforts to deter it are as strong as possible, and of course the ability to catch the thief if they were not deterred (since this will deter other thiefs). I don't agree with you question. To me taking steps to deter crime is the same as a good prevention strategy. I don't agree that the terms "deter" and "prevent" are mutually exclusive as you indicated in your question. My two cents.
