If a person commit a heinous crime like murder or a kidnap for the very first time then of course there is no hope for such people.But when it is a small , minor crime committed because of the circumstances then one should make some allowances and give him a chance...Like Sandhya said the idea is to kill crime and not the criminals and their reputation which may be even worse..

In a country where a poor man steals for bread, he is treated as a thief where, politicians and ministers who steal money from country's treasury are given great respect and reputation. Why this double standard? I feel politicians are no.1 criminals of the country. Even the poor people are paying tax for purchasing something. Money collected in this matter goes to politicians' pockets in one way or another. Yet, our country is always starving!!!!!!! So, who are the real thieves?

Let us collect data as to how many are in jail for stealing bread, biscuits etc only. Most of the criminals are in jail for big offences. Jail terms are based on severity of crimes. It is no use making sweeping statements like these though this may attract readers.

The bandits and big thieves get bigger jail sentence. These days, we do not have many 'uthaigeers' or petty thieves. The thieves have their own intelligence system. They gather information regarding cash and valuables before entering a house for theft. The thieves never attempt to enter a house where they know they will get no valuables and cash. In today's actual circumstances, it is meaningless to talk of bread thieves.

Yes, I agree, today is the era of high tech thieves than before. Modern technologies used and most of all, cyber crimes. :evil: Yet can't deny the fact that still people are there who steals for just filling stomach.
