Some people believe that there should be a fixed punishment for all types of crime. Others feel that the circumstances of an offence should be taken into account when deciding on a punishment. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

There are several people convinced that the

punishments

for each type of

crime

should be immutable,

while

many others believe that the situations and

motivation

should be included in factors of determining the way of punishing the

crime

. In the meanwhile, whether the

punishments

for every

crime

can be changed

according to

the circumstance and

motivation

has sparked spirited debates. From my point of view, I concur with the latter view that

punishments

are not fixed. On the one hand, fixed

punishments

for different categories of

crime

may boost the efficiency of

judgment

.

To begin

with, the clear and fixed

punishments

matching certain categories of

crime

may speed up and simplify the process of

judgment

. To illustrate, the task that police need to do is just

to conclude

simply by investigating, categorizing the case, and punishing the criminal

according to

the fixed rules.

Moreover

, it seems that

this

way of

judgment

is fairer because all criminals in the same category will get the same result no matter who he is. Only by considering more general facts,

such

as the

motivation

for committing crimes and the circumstance of the

crime

can judgments be more objective and accurate. Despite

this

, simplification and efficiency are not the aim of

judgment

, but justice. Taking the circumstance of the

crime

and the

motivation

of the criminal into account when making judgments has brought many benefits. In the first place, considering more general facts,

such

as the

motivation

for committing crimes and the circumstances of the

crime

, can make the judgments more objective and accurate. In the second place, analyzing more factors and information can reduce the number of persons who are judged as criminals wrongly. In conclusion, considering the situations and motivations of the

crime

is more beneficial for realizing fairness and justice for the law enforcement agency and contemporary society.
