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 view and give your own opinion.

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 .
