There are controversial opinions about how retribution should be set for a particular crime. Some argue that it is important to take into consideration the background and the situation where an individual was stimulated to perform a crime while others think that irrespective of those the punishment should be standard subject to the particular act. In my opinion, justice can not ignore some factors at the point of recommending the punishment.
