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.

Punishing people who commit
crime
 is important to maintain law and order in society. Some people believe that there should be a fixed
punishment
 for all crimes.Others disagree.In their opinion motive behind the
crime
 is
also
 considered. I will discuss the benefits and drawbacks in the following paragraphs. To embark with, If there is same
punishment
 for each
crime
 all people who commit
murder
 and rape will punish in the same way.
This
 will definitely increase the judgement efficiency.Since the
punishment
 is already given in the law books it will take less time for judges to pronounce the verdict.
Also
, when punishments are consistent there will be less law conflicts. On the other side, the above argument in the favour of single
punishment
 at all, is not as logical as it sounds. To illustrate, human behaviour is always influenced by circumstances.
Crime
 is no different. So, it is possible that two people who commit
murder
 can have two entirely different motives.
For example
, one has perhaps committed the act because his/her intention was to kill while others have tried to save himself from the attacker who committed the
murder
 accidentally.If there is a fixed
punishment
 for
murder
, they both will get the same
punishment
 which is unfair.
Additionally
, it is
also
 unfair to give juvenile the same
punishment
 as adults. To sum up, While awarding the
punishment
 judges should consider not only the
crime but
Accept comma addition
crime, but
also
 the circumstances in which they have committed it.
Therefore
,
this
 is not at all fair to treat all crimes same and give them the same
punishment
.
