Crime and Punishment

Crime and Punishment

(Info4Security 2007-2012) 

· Should the death penalty exist as a punishment for murder or terrorism?

I think to apply capital punishment for the people who commit murder and terrorism because they affect people considerably in the areas where they commit these crimes. ‘Execution permanently removes the worst criminals from society and is safer for prison guards, fellow inmates and the rest of us than long term or permanent incarceration’ (capitalpunishmentuk.org 2013).



· Should the main purpose of prison be punishment or rehabilitation?

I believe that the purpose of punishment is to apply the rehabilitation for the people who commit problems.



· What is the best way to deal with juvenile crime such as?

The best way to deal with joy-riding is to put the joy-riding in jail and to pay money to the person who stole their car.

The best way to deal with vandalism is to apply corporal punishment for them because they set fire to shops and they break cars and shops.

The best way to deal graffiti to apply a punishment to pant what they write in the walls or anywhere ales and to put them in jail for few days .



· Is it ever right for political activists to break the law?

I hold they have to apply corporal punishment for them because they make problems for the country.



· How strict should the law be with people who drink and driving?

I think to apply corporal punishment for them because they cannot control their shelf and maybe they will endanger the lives of other people at risk.



· Which is the more serious problem in your county tax evasion or social security fraud?

· In my country, UAE, we do not have evasion tax because we do not pay any tax. However, our government gave a many for the people who cannot work. For example, the people who cannot walk and the people who cannot hear and sea. So in my country, UAE, the social security fraud is a crime.





· Should the police have the right to stop and search you in the street without a warrant?

I do not believe that the police stop you in the street without warrant because maybe they have something original to do but if they have warrant they have to stop them. According to the Citizens’ Advice Bureau (2013), before they stop you they must be sure you have got something in the car.



· Should the law respect the rights of homeless people to squat in unoccupied property or shop doorways?

I assert that the police should not stop them because they do not have a place to live.



· Should smoking cannabis be a criminal offence?

I think to apply to put the people who smoke cannabis in jail because maybe the other people will learn from them and it will be destruction for other people.
