think longer

To begin

with those who advocate with the

long

sentences because

this

phenomenon can generate fear in a criminal's mind.

In other words

, if a person is already aware of the intensity of punishment before committing any

crime

, it will discourage him from becoming a criminal.

For example

, in the India, the rapist and the murderer usually get life time

prison

sentences, resulting in making people think twice before committing any serious

crime

.

Hence

On the other hand

, some other alternative can be taken to solve the problem. Rehabilitation service should be available for the criminals who commit

crime

by mistake, and realize their wrong doing.

Moreover
