 the law breachers to jail for a time period varying according to the severity of the actions committed. Sometimes,

 is done to inculcate a sense of fear amongst the wrongdoer and inhibit him from repeating his actions in future. Unfortunately,

 approach does not seem to be meeting the expected outcomes.
On the other hand
, as the saying goes - nip the evil in the bud, can be a more dependable philosophy in these circumstances. Lack of awareness, education, exposure to the norms of civilised society are some of the factors that push most people towards crime. The company of books, better education, creating self-reliance are some measures that can go a long way in urging the youth not to deviate from the legal path. To conclude, I will emphasize the need for providing means of earning a livelihood, being independent and occupied are better ways of reducing the crime rate in society

 of corporal punishments to the law fugitives.
