Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it:
Crime has become an inseparable part of society. But it doesn't mean that we can allow them to impact our daily lives and create darkness even on the brightest days. Eliminating crime is a 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 crime is known as utilitarian theoey. Deterrence is the objective of harh punishment as it creates an aversion for the possible results of criminal actions. It is justified only when the harm that the punishment prevents is more than punishment given to criminal. If it doesn't deter, it adds to the human suffering. Utilitarian theoey 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 conductor 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 appropirate 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 lesson. If they are treated with sympathy, they take it as a weakness of sociaty.
