Some people believe that there should be fixed punishments for each type of crime. Some people suggest that the circumstances of a crime and the reason for committing it should be taken into consideration when deciding on the punishment. Discuss both the views and give your opinion.
Many people argue that there must be a certain type of
punishment
for each type of crime
, while others argue that the motive and the circumstance of a crime
must be considered before giving a punishment
. In my opinion, it is really important to know the reasons behind crime
before agreeing on a certain penalty.
It is necessary for a country to decide a penalty for all crimes in order to maintain law and order. If there is no previously decided punishment

punishment, then
then
there will be no fear in the mind of people before committing crime
. If the citizens know that there is a huge fine or imprisonment for breaking a certain law they likely to follow the rules. For example
, in countries like USA, which have high fines for breaking traffic rules, it is seen that people rarely disobey rules. Hence
in such
cases it predefined penalties do help provide better regulation of rules.
But, this
method seems flawed when it comes to more serious crimes like murder. As, in such
cases there is a need to go to the depth of the case. Many a times it is found that a person commits a serious crime
in his or her self protection. In this
condition it would be wrong to punish the accused by giving him or her a death sentence or life imprisonment. To include, it was found recently that a girl who was being chased by a man for the wrong intentions in order to protect herself and get out of his hold beat him with a stone of his head, which lead to his death. The court just fined her.
Therefore
, in my opinion implementing predefined punishment
works best for not very serious crimes, but for others there is a need to go to the root of the crime
and then
decide the type of the punishment
for the accused. To conclude, a country must keep a balance between both this
