Surely, just as the population increases,【C2】______proportionally will crime. The same is also true【C3】______violence: more violence is to be expected as the world becomes more 【C4】______populated. If we consider whether the ancient religious law of bringing down the same punishment on the wrong-doer as he committed is【C5】______ in modern society, then we also have to take into【C6】______the equally strong religious law which urges us to show compassion and forgiveness. In fact it is a myth【C7】______people can be changed, as many people have believed,【C8】______having some strict and clear rules 【C9】______on them: their anti-social instincts can be suppressed for a while but will break out again more strongly later.

Therefore, to sum up, it seems that to bring back punishment would not help to control crime as there are deeper underlying causes.
