The issue of the application of fixed
punishment
for similar kind of crimes has been raising a lot of debates. Some might say that
this
case
can not be accepted because each form of committing offences has different levels and it
also
makes the sentence less objective and fair.
On the contrary
, others insist on the opinion that the same punishments which are used for all crimes will probably save a lot of time and money for the government. Viewing from general perspectives,
this
essay will discuss viewpoints and I personally follow the former opinion by following reasons.
To begin
with, using the fixed discipline for criminals will influence the right of individual and lacking equality legislation.
Firstly
, the age of the offender is very diverse so that the level of punishments are
also
different.
For example
, having the similar
case
such
as stealing valuable assets from another, fines are used as abuse for thief under 16 years old,
in contrast
, the theft is a responsible
crime
for the bad behaviour since full 16 years old and they are put in prison to ensure the safety of other people.
Secondly
, the circumstances and the criminal’s motivation of an offender have important roles to decide the trial.
For instance
, a person who robs the money from the bank for the purpose to feed their family will be punished slightly compared to someone stealing it for their own benefits.
Finally
, the complicated criminal
case
has a lot of evidence and witnesses,
therefore
judges play a significant role in each specific
case
and decide the most suitable
punishment
in accordance with the situation
case
.
On the other hand
, having a set of
punishment
for each
crime
is advocated because it can reduce the expense of prisons. It is
also
easier for the judges and the jury to find out the penalty for each
case
such
as fines are used as
punishment
for all
crime
of theft.
However
, if we apply
this
kind of
punishment
for each
crime
, it will be not fair to the suspected who can not defend their behaviour even be sentenced to capital
punishment
.
In conclusion, every people always have the right of individuals so that each committing offences need to be punished with the objective and fair basing on their motivations and circumstances .
