Law is a system that
enforces people to abstain from any sort of misconduct despite some criminal
activities ubiquitously happening in the world. However, a strict law can play
a pivotal role to mitigate the crime rates and emasculate the criminal behavior
of people.
As well as controlling the
criminal activities of people driven by heinous motives of killing, murdering
or kidnapping of people, a strict law governs the supreme authority to punish
the law breakers. As a result, crime-driven people may change their behavior
and wish to live as normal people. Moreover, we have witnessed many situations
where people move one step back before committing a crime when they have fear
of life-time imprisonment or capital punishment. For an instance, the countries
like China, India, Iraq, North Korea, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar have
extreme law for committing a heinous crime that results in death penalty and
life-time captivity behind the bars.
Although some countries have
extremely harsh punishment law, the crime rates are persisting dramatically. An
example can be taken from China where many former high level government
officials such as president, ministers, and judges have been sentenced to death
against their crimes related to corruption and kidnapping. This could be true
if people are bound to commit crimes, no strict laws can stop them from making
deadly mistakes that ultimately separate them from this world. Therefore,
rather than harsh laws, human behavior can be changed through positive thoughts
and generating feelings of fraternity and human sentiments.
To sum up, human behaviour
exists between good conduct and misconduct, which can be controlled by strict
laws to a greater extent; however, rather than laws people’s behaviour can be
controlled by self-actualization of being a human.
