About 90 per cent of all crimes in Great Britain are dealt (Present Simple Passive) with by Magistrates’ courts which can impose fines or prison sentences of up to six months.
Capital punishment was abolished (Past Simple Passive) in England in November 1965.
In England there are no minimum sentences, except for murder, which carries a penalty of life imprisonment, but life sentences are rarely more than 14 years, because they can be reduced (Present Simple Passive) for good behavior, often by one third or more.
 Some murders are committed (Present Simple Passive) by criminals evading arrest, by insane or mentally disturbed people, by cold-blooded sadists completely devoid of all human feelings.
The important thing in the prevention of murder is to eliminate the weapons and instruments with which these crimes are committed, (Present Simple Passive) and to stop the dangerous influence of violence in books, films, and other mass media, from which some criminals derive their “inspiration”.
Punishment can also be seen (Present Simple Passive) as a reform because it warns other people of what will happen if they tempt to break the law.
