It is believed by a few that the government should decide fixed penalizing
law
for every type of offense, whereas others postulate that the personal situation of an individual should be taken into consideration, while giving the punishment. In my perspective, the latter one is the better choice because every individual has their own reasons when they commit any
crime
.
Enhancing the speed of the penalty
system
is the foremost advantage that any nation could get by implementing the fixed
law
system
.
This
is because extra funds will be saved, which the government is spending on various things: judicial infrastructure, lawyers and judges.
Consequently
, authorities can save enormous amount of public money which could possibly be invested on: education, healthcare and public facilities. Added to
this
is the fear in the hearts of offenders.
This
is to say, if fixed legislation brought into the
system
,
then
criminals know that they will be punished under the defined section of the
law
and
this
will act as a perfect deterrent for them. In Dubai,
for example
, in year 2016, the government has passed a corporal punishment
law
for each type of theft and due to
this
thefts have been reduced by 70% in the whole country.
Therefore
, I think funds and extra efforts can be saved by
this
way;
however
, it is not the best method because criminals are not rehabilitated in the way in which it has to be.
Others,
however
, included myself, support that individual circumstances of an individual should be taken into consideration, while giving any punishment.
This
is because not every
crime
is of a same nature: murder, petty crimes, pick-pocketing. These felony have different stages. If there will be a fixed
law
for every situation,
then
it would be utterly difficult to differentiate in between heinous and small crimes.
For instance
, sometimes homeless people in several nations pick some eatables from general stores just to satisfy their hunger;
however
, that does not mean that they are criminals.
Thus
, in my opinion, legislation
system
should always check under which circumstances that particular
crime
was performed so that a fair judgement could be decided.
To conclude, I recapitulate that it would be hard to neglect as both of the viewpoints have their own merits.
Nevertheless
, the latter one is the optimal method for bringing the inclusivity in the society because everyone has their own right to say why they performed a
crime
