Is Harsher punishment a solution to solve crimes? why or why not?

Answer 1

The real people that should be punished harshly are the white collar criminals...... if that happens crime will probably slow down a lot. But it never will.... so yeah lets imprision the people because they are screwed over so badly they have to make ends meet what ever way they see fit.

Answer 2

No.

I really believe that criminal behavior stems from what a person experiences as a child. When I used to work for a probation/parole office what really struck me was how messed up many of the probationers/parolees were. Many had very abusive or dysfuctional childhoods; many were taught how to commit crimes by their parents. These particular probationers/parolees are living lives that are outside of society and they do not view themselves as part of society. A lot of them were never treated with respect or care, so you can't be suprised when they treat everybody else without respect or care.

Putting someone in prison for a longer time doesn't help anything except it may teach that person how to be a better rapist or burglar. You have to remember that eventually, that person will be free again. Obviously the death penalty does not stop crime because people continue to commit henious acts against others.

the sexual abuse of little ones.. the youngster is oftenly altered for all times and challenged via a situation that became previous their administration.. the criminal gets a unfastened bypass with probation or a suspended sentence for a typical offense.. a short detention center term for the 2nd and that they ultimately get extreme for the 0.33.. Do you fairly think of being registered as a intercourse criminal protects little ones from those twisted persons? little ones are everywhere.. and so are the perverts searching for a common objective. Why won't be able to the criminal equipment discern this out? Rape of a youngster is often the equivalent of a life sentence for a criminal offense the youngster did not even dedicate.. why could desire to or not that's something much less for the creep that certainly did it? .. positioned them away.. detention center then psychological facility.. do not provide them 3 opportunities to destroy 3 (or greater) lives.. needed sentences for first time offenders.. this could provide them a raffle to correctly known that they like some habit exchange. Throw away the main for repeat offenders, they had a raffle to alter.

Answer 4

In ancient times they punished criminals much harsher than now - they were impaled, burned at stake, their hands were cut off, their tongues were ripped off and it didn't solve the problem of crime even a bit. Cruelty breeds cruelty and it is a vicious circle.

Answer 6

it doesnt solve future crimes by other people. but depending on the punishment it solves future crimes by that person. never heard of a criminal coming back from the dead to murder and rape. but the ones that get out of jail sometimes do

Answer 7

Punishment has nothing to do with SOLVING crimes.

Harsher punishment is a form of a deterrant for crime, but they don't always work.

Answer 8

Yes= deterrence

Answer 9

It is only a solution if it is actually ENFORCED. Supposedly there are laws against truancy, but kids still skip school all the time. The laws just aren't enforced.

Answer 10

In some instances, yes, definately. Death penalty...guarantees that the criminal will never, ever murder another human being in cold blood. Not ever.
