Some people believe that there should be fixed punishments for each tipe 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

Nowadays, there is an increasing

crime

rate.

However

, some citizens think that there should be permanent punishments for each type of

crime

,

while

others consider that the motivation for committing a

crime

should be taken into account when deciding the punishment. In fact, I side with those who believe there should be fixed

retribution

for each type of

crime

. On the one hand, fixed punishments will work effectively to reduce the motivation for doing crimes. Citizens have a clear understanding of the

retribution

that they will get. By having a fixed sentence, society will be afraid of committing a

crime

. They will avoid doing bad things.

For instance

, people will not steal from their neighbours even though they need it to fulfil their daily needs because they understand the sentence that will come along after stealing.

As a result

, the rate of

crime

will decrease gradually.

On the other hand

, the motivation for committing a violation will make the

retribution

fair. Many people believe that it will be not fair if the government punish citizen without knowing the motive. For illustration, a grandmother who steals fruits from the garden gets the same punishment as a robber who steals money from the public even though the motives of these cases are different.

However

, by having consideration of the impulse to commit crimes, criminals will get a sentence fairer.

Consequently

, there will be a clear different

retribution

for criminals based on the level of impulse.

To sum up

, in

this

modern era, it is becoming easy for people to do misdeeds. In order to reduce the

crime

rate, the government needs to make the law clear for all citizens without considering the desire.

Nevertheless

, I am firmly convinced that fixed punishment for each type of

crime

will be a wiser decision to reduce the violation amount.
