Do you agree with the author that severe punishment is not the answer to the problem of crime? Sample: I dont 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 isnt feasible because it costs too much. My view is that punishment, including harsh measures; is necessary but punishment alone wont 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 combined with effective correctional measures to make law-abiding citizens out of criminals. Th
