 two points of view will be discussed. Fixed penalisation can bring benefits for society,
such
 as decreasing the amount of budget which is spent on various sentences and
also
 consuming less time to decide about a particular way for punishing. It can be accepted that the rate of committing a
crime
 would decrease by
this
 method.
For instance
, a shoplifter cannot tolerate the same punishment which is sentenced for a murderer too. The aim of punishing is just the decrease of lawlessness in society, and it is not the only factor that prevents criminals from committing. Sometimes people, in order to defend themselves or even others' lives, do something wrong unconsciously, which may result in a
crime
 so psychological behaviour and the situation in which
crime
 happened should not be ignored

 as situation,mental problems should be taken into consideration.
