Punishment - Page 2

I dont know...I'm kinda torn on this one. One part of me wants to say absolutely, punish the person for whatever they did back in their youth...because a crime is still a crime and the person ought to be punished for their crime just like any other criminal. But then the other part of me wonders what good the punishment would serve. Isnt the whole point of a jail sentence for the person to repent over their crime and to emerge a changed person when they are finally released from jail? As for hanging the person for the crime they commited in their youth, if the criminal is already old and at the end of their lifetime by the time they are noticed for their crime, then what's the point of hanging or electrocuting someone who will die in a couple of years of their own accord anyway? I know how this sounds. It's almost as though I'm supporting criminal activity. 😕 I guess this just isnt one of those questions that has a yes or no answer. I also think whether or not the person is punished ought to be at the discretion of the person who has suffered the injustice...the person who was raped or the family of the person who was murdered...if they have forgiven the criminal and moved on with their lives, and he is now a changed man, then what can be gained by the punishment? If on the other hand, they still want justice, then they have a right to demand it and insist on sending the man to jail despite the years that have gone in between. So I'd say, leave it at the discretion of the victims of the crime.

If a person commit a crime of serious nature like murder or rape in his\her youth and it goes unnoticed till his\her old age. Now after so many years when that particular person is totally changed. Should that changed person be punished for whatever he\she did years back ?

we are talking about a murder and rape here right?????

i don't see how a changed person is not liable for the punishment...

If he has changed, then he has changed over the years, but commited crime in senses.

Well, if we sit back and think then all cases pending are those of crimes commited years before, and most people change, so Why the hell do we have a Law....???

I don't see where is the space for dilemma, He definately deserves a sentence!!!

and then we say we have a weak judiciary!!!

Isnt law created for the protection of civilians? So if this criminal has changed, and is no longer dangerous to society, what's the point of sending him to jail? Following the law for the sake of following the law makes no sense to me. What exactly is it that we would accomplish by sending him to jail is what I'd like to know...sure, if there's a good enough reason to still do that years after the crime has been committed, by all means let's send him to jail...but to do it simply because it's the law doesnt make a ton of sense to me.

As for other criminals, it would all depend on whether they too are still dangerous to society.
