Some people think that sending criminals to prison is not effective. Education and job training should be used instead. Do you agree or disagree?

Some people believe that providing better

education

opportunities and

job

training should replace prison sentences in combating

crime

. Personally, I think

this

is a one- sided point of view and

therefore

disagree with it. There are a number of compelling reasons why it is unreasonable to consider imprisonment to be an obsolete practice. Prison sentences serve as one of the embodiments of justice and fairness in society. When a person commits an unlawful act, be it a

misdemeanor

a crime less serious than a felony

misdemeanour

or a felony, there should be punishments or else society would fall into chaos.

Furthermore

, prisons are not only a physical place that keeps criminals contained to protect innocent

people but

people, but

also

a reminder of the consequences of violating the law.

Although

better

education

and

job

training can enhance a person’s awareness and

employability that

will, in theory, reduce

crime

, they cannot eliminate all the elements that induce a person to become a criminal. In fact, there have been many heinous crimes committed by well-educated people,

for example

the infamous sexual assault on a Vietnamese child in Japan. It is naive to expect everyone to follow the law just because they are provided with better

education

and

job

skills. We cannot disregard the fact that some people are morally bad by nature and some people who are psychologically unstable may show a propensity for

crime

. In conclusion, better

education

and

job

training are not the ultimate answer to

crime

, nor can they replace prison sentences in

this

regard. It is the combination of both measures that can truly make a difference in the fight against

crime

.
