Why is the punishment for attempted murder any different from the punishment for murder?

The maximum sentence is the same for both - life imprisonment - so the punishment *is* potentially the same for both. The principle factor which makes attempted murder different from murder is that the victim has not be killed, although this might be considered just "good luck" on the part of the defendant. The law sentences offenders based on a combination of factors - to deter others from committing the offence, to rehabilitate the offender to punish the offender for committing the crime, but also to punish the offender for harm done.

It's that last factor which makes attempted murder different from murder. Although they meant to kill, they failed. The harm has not been done.

The harm actually done will be taken into account... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
