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 these views and give your own opinion.

In

this

modern era, the rate of

crimes

has been rising at an alarming rate. Certain people consider that

punishment

should be kept fixed for each category of

crimes

while others argue that situations and reasons for committing

crimes

also

need to be taken into consideration before deciding on the

punishment

.

This

essay will decipher both views and pros and cons in the forthcoming paragraphs. To commence with, fixed

punishment

would be a great notion for any kind of

crime

because in the future offenders will be already known the kind of

punishment

which they will get if that

crime

was committed.

For instance

, countries like Saudi and Dubai have low-index

crime

rates mainly due to these established

punishment

orders. To cite an example, in Dubai, for drug trafficking, offenders will be captivated in prison for at least 10 months without light.

As a result

of these permanent punishments,

crime

rates and the drug mafia are less in Dubai.

On the other hand

, fixed

punishment

has detrimental effects on people who are committing any sort of

crime

to secure themselves from that criminal activity.

Furthermore

, families of that offenders are

also

get affected by

this

fixed

punishment

.

Hence

, the situations and motivations for committing

crimes

should

also

be taken into consideration before giving

punishment

.

For instance

, in India, a 16-year-mature girl killed her uncle to save her life. The court has declared that she has not committed any mistake

consequently

she can be released from prison since her motto is merely to save her life that culprit. In conclusion, I believe that both types of retribution must be followed in the country. Judgment should be given to the criminals based on their motto and as well as the background of their criminal history.
