How Should Guilty People Be Punished?

How should guilty people be punished?

Thousands of crimes are committed throughout the year; robbery, fraud, rape etc...

The people who commit these crimes and are caught are sent to jail. The only thing is,

Every person who committed a crime had a different reason for doing it. That is why the

Court exists, to judge each case differently.

There should be an individual punishment for every case, because every case is

different, and the "criminals" have different motives. I would like to give examples:

For instance in murder cases; if a woman murdered her husband because he would beat

her and the only way she could survive was by killing him, this case should be judged

differently next to a case for instance a woman killing her husband because she was

jealous of him. Both of these woman who committed these crimes should get jail time,

because it can set an example to other woman, but the woman from the first case should

get in my opinion maximum 2 years of jail time and also community service. Even thow

self defense is legal it is very hard to prove.

In the cases of robbery; If a man robbed a place for survival, and another man robbed a

bank for money, both of these cases should be judged differently, they definitely should

get a punishment, but different ones.

In the cases of "first offender" and "second offender; a first time offender might have

done a stupid mistake therefore the penalty should be less severe then someone who has a

police record with other convictions.

In the cases of "juveniles"
