薪酬管理的重要性Throwing criminals in prison is an ancient and widespread method of punishment, but is it a wi one? It does em reasonable to keep wrongdoers in a place where they find fewer opportunities to hurt innocent people. The system has long been considered fair and sound by tho who want to e the guilty punished and society protected. But the value of this form of justice is now being questioned by the very men who have to apply it – the judges.
Does it really help the society, or the victim, or the victim’s family, to put in prison a man who, while drunk at the wheel of his car, has injured or killed another person? It would be more helpful to make the man pay for his victim’s medical bills and compensate him/her for
the bad experience, the loss of working time, and any other problems arising from the accident. If the victim is dead, in most cas the victim’s family would need some financial assistance.
And a young thief who spends time in prison may receive there a thorough education in crime from his fellow prisoners. Willingly or not, he has to associate himlf with tough criminals who will drag him into more rious crimes.
lhokSuch considerations have caud a number of judges to try some new forms of punishment for light criminals, which are unpleasant enough to discourage the offenders (违法者) from repeating their offens, but safe for them becau they are not expod to dangerous company. They pay for their crime by helping their victims, financially or otherwi, or doing unpaid labor for their community; or perhaps, they take a job and repay their victim out of their salary. This sort of punishment is applied only to nonviolent criminals who are not likely to be dangerous to the public, such as forgers (伪造者), thieves, and drivers who have caud traffic accidents. The ntenced criminal has the right to refu the new type of punishment if he prefers a prison term. songs of innocence

certificationSince World War II, there has been a clear trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence (青春期), “go steady” through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthdays; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even at the age of venty.
Many students are marrying as an escape from their own personal problems of loneliness. However any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage ldom solves one’s problems; more often, it merely makes them wor. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home as an institution is capable of carrying all that the young are eking to put into it. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the ultimate (最终的) good, but they mistakenly believe that they themlves have found the true center of life’s meaning. Their expectations of marriage are esntially unrealistic, and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and disillusionment (幻想破灭) is often sure to follow.
Shall we, then, think early marriages are bad? One cannot draw the conclusion that all early marriages are bad or all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by age, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each ca must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions (幻想) or fal expectations, and if it is economically practical, why
not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones.
