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

day and age, an increasing number of people are concerned about committing

crimes

which have recently increased at an alarming rate in newspapers. It is thought by some people that all kinds of

crimes

should have their own

punishment

;

However

, others argue that the

criminals

should be included in the procedure of deciding on the

punishment

relying on the situation.

Hence

, we will examine both sides of the argument before reaching a reasonable conclusion. On the one hand, a fixed

punishment

for each type of

crime

is necessary due to several reasons.

Firstly

, it allows every criminal to be treated fairly for every

crime

. It is important to ensure no one will be discriminated against or offended by the public.

In addition

, there will not be any unsatisfied between the

criminals

who committed the same kind of

crime

when they are arrested in jail.

Furthermore

, a fixed

punishment

plays an indispensable role in giving a deterrent in turning the would-be offenders. To illustrate, a serious

punishment

will be applied to those who commit

crimes

like murders will definitely deter and cause would-be offenders to change their minds before committing a

crime

.

On the other hand

, it is really essential to take into account the reasons why

criminals

commit

crimes

.

First

of all, many of them, especially teenagers, who are more vulnerable to those feelings of loneliness are more influenced by their peers. They do not have mature thinking and are not aware of the possible negative impacts of committing

crimes

. According to recent research conducted in Viet Nam, the statistic has shown that about 58% of the youngsters got affected by their badly behaved friends when got caught involved in

crimes

. It is

also

believed by the public that many

criminals

lack parental love which eventually causes them to behave violently and aggressively.

Therefore

, the most obvious solution is by taking the motivation of

criminals

as an essential consideration in giving

punishment

. In conclusion, I totally agree that the

punishment

for a

crime

should be made up based on all the factors leading up to the unlawful action rather than providing judgment based on the classification of

crimes

into types.
