Punishment is not the answer to curb crime.
Cutting off the hands or putting the capital punishment on a criminal is some of the most ridiculous ways to encounter crime.
It doesn't help the culprit to repent or to become honest again. Coz it’s all in his head, not in the mortal limbs.
Locking people up are another stupid form of punishment. Once a person goes to jail, he becomes an intense criminal. Jail is the first criminal school. When he comes out also nobody will take him/her for employment.
He/she will wind up on the streets being exposed to criminal activities again. And public money is wasted in feeding and maintaining the criminals in jail.
