From the utilitarian government’s perspective, rehabilitation is more important when the criminals still have values to the society.

From a more idealistic and humane government, severe punishment such as life sentence or death penalty is seen as a violation of basic human rights this rehabilitation is believed more necessary to correct criminals’ behaviour before they are reintegrated into the society.

-Severity of the crime as rehabilitation may not tackle the root cause
-Rehab takes up tons of time, money and space

diabolical, malicious types of crimes require severe punishments given that the probability of reoccurrence of such crimes are high and only through due punishment can the solution be effective. For small petty crime, education would be a better solution

severity of the crime, likelihood of it re-occurring, likeliness of such behaviour spreading in society if no intervention is made
