Criminals deserve to be punished. Most of the people would not hesitate to claim that those who break the law should be punished ans]d put into prison as long as possible in case they continue to endager our lives and property. Also, if criminals are not given any punishment they may commit crimes again and again.Crime in general is the worst thing a person can do because it violates the law and it is a violation against the victims.Therefore, to protect the security of the society they should be punished according to the severity of the crime. So, regardless of what sort of crime someone is commiting they have to pay for their crime.
I think that the criminals should not be punished as they are not born criminal. They become criminals due to the circumstances faced by them . A person does not commit a crime without any reason. The bible also says ‘HATE THE SIN AND NOT THE SINNER ‘. So the criminals should not be given the punishment but the crime should be punished One thing is clear – there are far too many people in American prisons. There are far too many ‘criminals ‘ in prison despite the fact that they pose no significant threat to society. As a result – otherwise productive citizens are sitting in a jail cell costing taxpayers money to look after. Despite this, there are many non-violent crimes which warrant jail time. Without this, the penalties for breaking the law might be so mild, that people will take calculated risks. No man takes birth as a criminal.
Their circumstances force them to do what their heart never wills. Their circumstances can be anything it can be due to poverty, ailments or shortage of food. As in the drama bishops candlesticks the convict steals to save his wife from suffering which he never wanted to do. But there was no way other than stealing. But after stealing as by his luck he was caught. And the punishment given to him was too big for his shoes. This was just an example. Imagine how many people in this world would be suffering like this. Instead of understanding the pros and cons of the prisoner he is chained and whipped behind the bars. After a great suffering in the jail they just convert the criminals into a wild beast. Criminals are also human beings and they need to be consulted. No man is born great and no man is a criminal.
They want to get wok but there is no employment for them because of shortage of wealth. Now-a-days, the crimes are increasing everywhere. Everyday we hear the news that someone was robbed or murdered. This has lead to instability in many countries. In India, it has many adverse effects. The crime rate is going up at a very fast rate in India. Most of the crimes in India involves robbery, theft, etc. Sometimes shops are looted or sometimes houses are looted. Criminals should not be punished severely. But before punishing, we should try to know why they did so. No one wants to do crime, but situation forces them to commit it. Many people commit crime because they need money to maintain their families. When criminals are kept in jail, they become hardened criminals. They loose their respect and only thinks to hurt others.
But now-a-days, the government has started many rehabilitation programs to help criminals to convert them into good human beings. When jail – authorities see improvement in criminals, they release them even before completion of their period of imprisonment. Supreme court of India has also said that severe punishment cannot be given for any small crime. The court while sentencing the convicts should deal with them under the Probation of Offenders ACT, 1958. The courts should release the convicts of minor offences by giving them the benefit of probation.
Crimes are to be hated not the criminals. So at last, I want to say that the criminals should not be given severe punishment. They can be converted into good human beings by humanitarian values like love, careness, etc. So, they should be guided not to do such actions in future instead of sending them to jail. Criminals deserved punished to teach other against the repetition of non human crimes. If the criminals are not punished then, they start crime again and again. To protect the security of society , they must be punished. if the criminals are not punished for their crimes then it will be an injustic to the victim. criminals deserved punishment as they cannot be reformed without being punished. If the criminals are not punished then people will not differentiated between criminals and non-criminal activities. that’s why criminals deserve punishment.
