We do not think that there should be one fixed punishment for different offences. Each crime is committed by someone for different reasonsThere is a wide range of offences in this world, there should not be one fixed punishment for the different offences this is because some are severe and some are not. Also the range of people that do this crimes. and the reason why these people did it. Depends on why the person did it.
For Example, if someone who is hungry stole one bun from a bakery because he is starving and needs it for his live, I personally do not think he should be punished but instead should be helped. This person is perfectly innocent and is just trying to keep himself alive.
But if there someone who would steal a bun for the fun of it, that is an actual crime.
Interesting ideas but how do we know why someone is committing the crime? Should circumstances affect the punishment? What if that starving person stole RM1 million, does being poor still justify the crime? What if the starving person beat someone to steal the bun?
