Question

Note: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given
below it:
Crime has become an inseparable part of society. But this
doesn't mean that we can allow them to impact our daily lives and
create darkness even on the brightest days. Eliminating crime is must
and harsh punishments are one of the effective ways to reduce crime.
It stands especially true for the people who commit crime just for
fun. The concept of punishment is based on theories.
The theory in which goal of punishment is to deter
the future crimes is known as utilitarian theory Deterrence is the
objective of harsh punishment as it creates an aversion for the
possible results of criminal actions. It is justified only when the harm
that punishment prevents is more than punishment given to criminal.
If it doesn't deter, it adds to the human suffering. Utilitarian theory
believes that punishment may or may not have deterrent effect.
Retributive theory focuses on the past actions of criminal
The moral blame is assigned to criminal and his future conduct doesn't
form a base for deciding punishment. In it punishment is must and
justified as criminals have committed an immoral act and deserves
harsh punishment. It basically follows the concept of an eye for an
eye and a life for a life. The emphasis is on the moral connection
between guilt and punishment. Criminals pay their debt in form of
punishment. Also, it calls punishment as a form of satisfaction to the
family members.
Harsh punishments are advocated by Retributive theory as
it is appropriate to punish a criminal as per nature of crime committed
by him. And yes it reduces crime as no matter what some people
don't learn easy lesson. If they are treated with sympathy, they take
it as a weakness of society.
