Some people believe that there should be a fixed punishment for each type of crime. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this ?

It is believed that a specific kind of

crime

should be dealt with a particular sentence.

However

, some people argue that the

law

has to be flexible under many cases and the original reasons for committing a

crime

when reconsidering to accuse a guilty individual. In my opinion, both statements greatly convinced me for some reasons.

First

of all, the

law

works quite strictly and fairly because the

law

system has been developing for many centuries, and it keeps fixing the rule when acknowledging a hole in the system. Most of the time,

crime

are treated fairly for what they did under the court, from thieve, robbers to murder, and nation betrayers are sentenced to months, years, decades, or death.

For example

, the new

law

of

Vietnam

has just been enforced to ban driving after drinking alcohol because drunk drivers mainly cause car accidents. According to that, Drivers’ licenses will be revoked for 10 to 12 months and fined for a fixed amount of money which is enough for him not to drink when he is in traffic.

However

, when it comes to

Vietnam

’s

Law

, there are some differences from other Western nations. In

Vietnam

, the man who holds all

power

under the court is the tribunal president, which decides the

crime

’s fate.

This

is the most significant hold in

Vietnam

law

because if the holder is a dedicated and fair person, he can assess the circumstances correctly.

However

, if he is a corrupted judge, the consequences would be unfair.

In contrast

, in western nations, the

power

belongs to 12 juries who are 12 different people in the society from the lowest class to the higher ones. The court would be much fairer because 12 juries cannot be chosen in advance so that they can judge a situation most accurately.

For instance

, there were many precedents in

Vietnam

law

that pushed two adolescents to jail for three years because of bread stealing, and a man was kicked into prison because he stole a duck from his neighbour.

Hence

, the critical point is that the

power

must be given to an appropriate holder. In conclusion, the

law

has many fixed sentences for a specific

crime

.

However

, it has shown many faulty evaluations under many contexts, and the solution is to put the

power

to a fair judge.
