Arguments in favour of the motion:
a) Criminals deserve punishment as they are wicked. If they are not punished they will continue committing crime which will destabilise the society. Appropriate punishment will act as deterrent for the criminals to take to the path of crime. b) If criminals are not punished for their crimes it will be an injustice to the victims. c) Criminals deserve punishment as they cannot be reformed without being punished. d) Since the doer of good work is rewarded with appreciation then it follows that evil doer like criminals is awarded with punishment. e) If criminals are not punished people will not differentiate between criminal and non-criminal activities. Arguments Against the motion:
a) To assume that criminals are wicked and accordingly deserve punishment is wrong. Criminals are the products of the society they live in. They take to crime under unavoidable circumstances like extreme poverty. So, it is an injustice to punish criminals. The conditions for committing crimes are induced by the society that instigates people to commit crimes. b) There are several instances to show that criminals can be reformed. They are as normal as other human beings and are sensitive to sympathy and benevolence. c) We are no longer in a primitive society. So, giving punishment to the criminals is not in tune with the norms of a civilized society.
