Some people think that certain criminals should be made to do unpaid community work instead of being put behind the bar. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

crime
should be taken into account while deciding the punishment. Not only this
essay will discuss the benefits of putting people behind the bar, but also
it will be compared with community work
in such
cases.
First
and foremost, there are several benefits of doing social work
for criminals. It helps them to contribute to the betterment of society and makes them feel part of it. As a result
, they do not feel alienated. Additionally
, they feel that their soul is getting cleansed while performing social work
. For example
, those involved in petty crimes such
as stealing from grocery shops can be asked to teach children. This
will lead them to realise their past behaviours. Hence
, inclusiveness and feeling good about social work
can make drastic changes in the attitude of criminals.
On the other hand
, the jail term gives people room and time to reflect on their behaviour and brings disciplines in life. This
is very much needed for those who are not masters of their day
to day
activities and take law in hand as they are not able to control either their greed or their senses. At the same time, social work
is not the sole remedy for heinous crimes such
as murder or genocide. Consequently
, Proportional punishment is needed in such
cases.
Hence
, I feel that pro-bono social work
is not the magic bullet and horses for the course's approach is the need of the hour. Thus
, punishment should be commensurate to the crime
. To summarise, though there are several benefits of unpaid community work
to be done by those involved in crime
, the solution needs to be restricted for petty crimes and that can not be universal in nature.Submitted by amreshcg on
