Introduction
There is a difference of opinions on whether measures of punishment should differentiate according to individual cases. While the judicial efficiency that a strict crime-punishment correspondence can bring is considerable, in court it is fairer to consider the specific circumstances and the motivations for committing a crime.
Body paragraph 1
To begin
with, the message sent by matching each crime with a fixed penalty is clear, informing people of the foreseeable results of anti-social behaviours and relieving the judicial departments from endless case reviews and investigations. Linking Words
Nevertheless
, Linking Words
such
practice has fatal flaws, assuming that all wrong-doers have bad intentions and creating an image of perfect victims, Linking Words
this
approach is unable to bring justice to rightful defence. Linking Words
For example
, in Linking Words
such
a system, someone who accidentally killed the assaulter in a wrestle will be regarded as guilty and Linking Words
thus
suffer punishment, which is not only unfair but Linking Words
also
unmerciful.Linking Words
Body paragraph 2
On the contrary
, other people deem it reasonable to take into account the individualities when deciding on the cases, an argument with which I personally agree. The Linking Words
first
reason is that it solves the problem of the former method. Linking Words
Besides
, even for the same crime of the same level of seriousness, differentiating points on their motivations can make big differences. Linking Words
For instance
, beating someone up because he or she assaulted a lady is not the same as submitting someone to physical violence in order to bully themLinking Words
Conclusion
To sum up, fixing crimes with punishing measures can be quick and cost-saving, but to bring true justice to society, it is better to fully consider all aspects of individual cases before making decisions.
