Some people that there should be fixed punishments for each type of crime. Others, however, argue that the circumstances of an individual crime, and the motivation for committing it, should always be taken into account when deciding on the punishment.

Punishing people for their

This

system will certainly improve judgement efficiency. Since the

has already been given in law books, judges only have to pronounce the verdict.

the punishments are consistent with regulations established previously, there will be fewer law conflicts. Unfortunately, the above arguments in favour of a fixed

punishment

are not as logical as they sound. Human behaviour is almost always influenced by circumstances.

Crime

is no different. It is possible for two people who commit murders to have entirely different motives. Perhaps one of them committed the act with the deliberate intention to kill while the other was merely trying to save himself from the attacker while committing the murder accidentally. If there are fixed punishments for murder, both of them will receive the same
