Some people believe that there should be fixed punishments 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. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

It had been a controversial issue, for a long time, whether

punishment

for crimes should be fixed or the incentive is an influential factor

that is

crucial to be considered. In

this

essay, I will discuss both points of view and extend my support for the latter opinion. On the

one

hand, some people argue that the advantage of having

one

set of

punishment

for each

crime

overweigh its disadvantage. They maintain that fixing punishments will probably save not only much time but

also

an enormous amount of money that could

otherwise

save for other sectors

such

as education and health.

For example

, if the circumstances of individual crimes or the motivation for committing

this

action needs to be considered, the government has to spend nation budget for many factors

such

as the payment for the lawyers and police security. Another

reason

for believing

this

policy is that a fixed

punishment

for each

crime

could deter criminals since they would realize which

punishment

is going to strict. An international survey shows that the

crime

rates in some countries decline significantly after adopting a very strictly and hash punitive system.

However

, fixing punishments seem to be an unfair justice system. It is possible for two people who commit murders to have entirely different motivations.

For instance

,

one

action is considered as self-defence when someone attacks her or him while the

reason

for others is because of the assent.

Furthermore

, in many cases, there are hidden reasons behind the

crime

committed. In many countries and communities, especially in developing countries, poverty and blackmailing are strong factors influencing

crime

rates. Psychologically speaking, some psychologists claim that people act at present is directly influenced by some forgettable events in the past and multiple personality disorders is the main

reason

one

person has

crime

act.

Thus

, it is crucial to consider all the circumstances surrounding a defendant or case to issue a just. To conclude, in my opinion, both arguments have their merits, but there is no

reason

to have a fixed

punishment

for each

crime

. Considering the circumstances behind each

crime

is paramount to reach a fair and just verdict for everyone in society.
