Some people believe that there should be fixed punishment for each type of crime. Others, however argue that the circumstances of an individual crime and the motivation for committing it should be taken into account when deciding on the punishment. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
While some individuals opine that penalty for any offence should be constant, others think that the background should
also
be considered. In my opinion, the situation of crime is required to be analyzed during judgement; Linking Words
however
, both views will be discussed in the essay.
On the one hand, fixing punishment for offences reduces violence from society. Because, Linking Words
this
strategy creates a psychological sense among the citizens, Linking Words
such
as a fear of being penalized for any blunder. Linking Words
Moreover
, the evildoers get no change to take advantage of proving them innocent from any hole of legislations. Linking Words
Thus
, common rules make the citizens become aware, and refrain themselves to get involved in committing crimes. Linking Words
For instance
, in Bangladesh, the case of rape decreased drastically after fixing the death penalty or life imprisonment for that.
Linking Words
Nevertheless
, constant rules could punish the innocent. In many circumstances, people are being accused by others for illegal purposes. Linking Words
Besides
, many offences happen just to rescue oneself from attack or by accident. In these cases, if the situations are not considered and impose the same laws to all, it will be an improper judgement and there is a possibility of penalizing innocent people. Linking Words
For example
, hurting attackers for saving own life is not the same crime as hurting anyone for other reason. Linking Words
Therefore
, laws and legislations should be based on the cause of violence.
In conclusion, people have contrasting views, whether the ground of the violence should be assessed while enforcing punishment or follow the common rules. I believe it would be better to judge offenders following all the phases to establish proper justice.Linking Words
