Question

1. Do you think that punishments deter crime? Why or why not? Do you think there is a better way to reduce crime than punishment?

Answer 1

I really believe that punishments reduce crime, if someone has done something wrong they have to be punished because, if not, how are they going to know that what they have done is wrong? So, in this way, some criminals stop committing crimes because they see that what they have done is not good and has consequences.

Punishment is known to be a bad stimulus to reduce crime; instead, education has been much more effective, because in this way criminals learn what they can do to improve their lives.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In my honest opinion i don not think punishment deter crime, but it does to a great extent reduce the rate of crime, if actually punishment deter crime, then there will not be offenders anymore.

Another possible way to reduce crime than punishment is to place a fine for offender to pay and also place offenders on community service, in this way offenders get to move freely in the society while they get to pay a huge sum for the offence they have committed
