Many people believe that having a fixed punishment for all crimes is more efficient. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a fixed punishment?

Every country has different methods of crime dealings. It is believed by a majority of citizens that fixed

punishment

is a determined way for all types of violations.

Nevertheless

,

this

treatment possesses benefits as well as downsides. A fixed sentence or punishing criminals with no considerations offers positive points for a country's jurisdiction. The

first

is that it is easier and not time-consuming in giving a sentence judgment.

For instance

, a court just quickly refers to the

law

to decide a penalty.

Then

, the

law

of fixed

punishment

prevents public revenge so that they cannot offend criminal as they will. Another benefit is that

this

principle of detention could deter criminals.

Therefore

, people will think twice to commit crimes because they know the consequences of the written

law

.

Thus

, fixed

punishment

as a legal system delivers merits in ruling criminals.

On the other hand

, there are

also

some drawbacks of

this

commandment. It will be unfair for people who commit a crime with different motives and scales. A case of a grandmother stealing three cocoas in Indonesia,

for example

, was a small violence with forgivable motive. She stole those cocoa in order to buy food for her starvation. It was an injustice to punish her as severe as curators

punishment

.

In addition

, it is likely possible to cause false judgment because of the quick verdict that provided by fixed

punishment

. The case of U.S federal court issuing false victim Aarthi S. Rao in 2010 embodies

this

idea perfectly. Because of false judgment the victim nearly lost a half million dollar in that year.

As a result

of

this

,

although

unfortunately, the negative impacts of fixed

punishment

can be seen. To conclude, it is clear that even though fixed sentence has positive ramifications, its applications in the courtroom may draw unfairness. A serious awareness should be taken by both

law makers

a maker of laws; someone who gives a code of laws

lawmakers

and society to deal with the negative impacts that may be drawn from

this

authority.
