Do you agree with the author that severe punishment is not the answer to the problem of crime? Sample: I don39。t think that severe punishment is the answer to the problem of crime. But I look at the matter from a different point of view. The author simply believes harsh punishment isn39。t feasible because it costs too much. My view is that punishment, including harsh measures。 is necessary but punishment alone won39。t help much. It is effective only when governments make effort to wipe out what gives rise to crimes, for example, poverty, inequality, racial hatred, money worship, TV violence, etc. , in short, to remove barriers for less fortunate members of society to better themselves. Punishment can produce good results only when it is bined with effective correctional measures to make lawabiding citizens out of criminals. This is a difficult but worthwhile job.
