Some people believe 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.

The rate of law violation is highly proliferating in the society nowadays. Certain individuals are of the opinion that, there should be a designated sanction for all kinds of crime while others believed that, the scenario by which

act

was committed and the reason behind it should be duly put into consideration while determining the best

punishment

for

this

. I,

however

, believe that, the reason for an

act

and the situations involved should be specifically examined before the choice of

punishment

is made. Admittedly, having peculiar crime wages to minor crimes

such

as fighting in the street without any form of casualties involved will be necessary, as

this

will help to reduce the rate at which people appear in court for verdict because

this

type of issue can be resolved within the police custody.

Nevertheless

, having a fixed

punishment

for all kinds of crimes will make it monotonous and becomes less valued.

For instance

, capital

punishment

such

as murder will be rampart in the society because the sanction relating to

this

act

has been revealed.

In contrast

, considering situations and the motivation to crime commission will help to provide maximum justice to the victim involved and the alleged will be duly punished.

For example

, in the case of self defence, the victim will probably be justified if the scenario of action was reviewed. The consequences of

this

is that, it will ensure a reflective thinking before a law is violated. In conclusion, while minor crimes have specific penalty identified with them, capital

punishment

should vary based on the motive by which

such

act

was committed.
