Band 4.5

Some people believe that there should be fixed punishments for each type of crime. Others, however, argue that the circumstances of an individual crime, and the motivation for committing it, should always be taken into account when deciding on the punishment. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

 do not feel any pity for them at all; they only see the extent of damage they caused for the real victim and have no mercy for the committer. Criminals cause huge damages
