Levied proportionally according to the severity of the crime

Reference no: EM13256261

Day fines are fines that are levied proportionally according to the severity of the crime and the financial resources of the offender. In the case of a crime that requires more than a fine as punishment; incarceration for a determined number of days can be given.

In the Day Fine system, incarceration is considered a financial punishment because it prevents one from going to work during that incarceration.

Day Fines are argued to be a “just” punishment because if both the high and low income population are punished with the same jail time; they should also be punished with a proportionally similar income loss.

What do you think? Are Day Fines a reasonable alternative to more traditional types of punishment used in the United States? What do you think of a fine being levied based on the income of the subject being fined over the crime they commit. Would you say that is “just”? Why or why not?
