These tough laws have been created to keep people away from crime. But the reality is that despite such strict laws, people are not stopping committing crimes. There may be various psychological, social, and economic reasons behind this.

Many times, criminals are not afraid of being caught. They think that they can hide the crime. Again poverty, scarcity of work, low incom also increase the tendency to commit crimes. The main purpose of punishment is not only to hurt the criminal but also to keep society safe and give the criminal a chance to reform.
