Name one crime you consider to be serious.

Explain how a Christian would want a criminal who committed this crime to be treated.

The crime that I have chosen for my coursework is the crime is drunk driving because that is the crime mostly associated with teenagers today and has one of the highest death rates out of all the crimes.

Drunk driving is quite a serious crime in Northern Ireland because there are a lot of young people aged from the ages of 18-20 who have an access to alcohol and also have access to a vehicle.

Being Christians we should punish this crime not as much as others because the criminal in this case has consumed alcohol and cannot make decision properly and mightn’t have realised what he was doing at the time of the offence and so as Christians we should be more forgiving towards him and so the crime should not be punished too hard.

I think as Christians a suitable punishment for this offence would be to discard the driver’s license from him and put him into a rehabilitation centre for the driver to realise what he had done was wrong.
