Some people believe that there should be a fixed punishment 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.

In today's modern world, we are constantly bombarded with the issue of

crime

which has recently increased at an alarming rate on newspapers. Some people,

therefore

, are of the opinion that all kinds of

crime

should have its own

punishment

which is legislated by the government.

However

, there are a handful of people who assert that some background reasons, which cause the criminals to commit crimes, should be included in the procedure of deciding on the

punishment

.

Hence

, we will examine both sides the argument before reaching a reasonable conclusion. A fixed

punishment

for each type of

crime

is necessary due to several reasons.

To begin

, it allows every criminal to be treated fairly for every

crime

. It is important to ensure no one will be discriminated or get offended by the public.

In addition

, there will not be any unsatisfactory between the criminals who committed the same kind of

crime

when they are sentenced to the jail.

Furthermore

, a fixed

punishment

plays an indispensable role in giving a deterrent in turning the would-be offenders. To illustrate, a serious

punishment

will be incurred for those who commit crimes like murders will definitely deter and cause the would-be offenders to change their minds before committing a

crime

.

On the other hand

, it is vital to take into account about the reasons behind why the criminals commit crimes.

First

of all, many of them, especially the teenagers who are more vulnerable to those feelings of loneliness are more easily influenced by their peers. They do not have a mature thinking and are not being aware of the possible negative impacts of committing crimes. According to a recent research conducted in Columbia, the statistic has shown that about 58% of the youngsters got affected by their badly behaved friends when got caught to involve in crimes. It is

also

believed by the public that many criminals have the lacking of parental love which eventually causes them to behave violently and aggressively. They commit crimes, including robberies and murders to show how powerful they are. In conclusion, I am of the opinion that every jury should make their decisions on punishments by considering the reasons why they commit crimes. Our nation will surely continue to prosper and flourish in the decades to come once the

crime

rates are successfully reduced.
