In Britain, punishments certainly do not fit the crimes, many of our laws are outdated, and many sentences are too lenient. Petty crimes often incurr heavy sentences, whilst serious crimes incurr too light a sentence. The reason our prisons are overcrowded, is that there are not enough deterrents in place, and most people know, that our punishment laws are very much a "soft touch".
