Band 5

Some people believe that should be fixed punishments for each type of crime. Others, however, argue that circumstances of individual crime, at the motivation of commiting it, should always be taken into account when deciding on the punishment.

Commission of
crime
 is the action of harmful and antisocial behaviour. Some people argue the
punishment
 should be the same for each category of
crime
while
 others say every
punishment
 should be considered as a separate case depending on

is a maniac who killed a person for pleasure and does not regret at all the intentional murder that occurred. Based on these two examples, with

 but the same outcome, I think the
punishment
 must be different and consider all details and facts of the
crime
 committed. Another possible case is when a person with some mental disorder can harm others. People with severe depression, dementia, and schizophrenia can behave themselves unpredictably. If anyone annoys a human with a mental disease it can lead to committing an unintentional
crime
. A court should take into account the fact of mental condition of an offender and pass a sentence considering these
circumstances
. In conclusion, a fixed
punishment
 could be not fair enough. Every
crime
 case has different conditions and judges need to be careful when they give a sentence. The police and court workers need to consider every
crime
 accident separately, to give a right depending on
circumstances
.
