Studies show that many criminals have a low level of education. For this reason, people believe that the best way to reduce crime is to educate people in prison so they can get a job when leave prison. Do you agree or disagree?

Recently, crime has been increasing out of control. Some hold the idea that in order to deter crimes, criminals should be given proper

education

while in prison. Personally, I partly share the same view with

this

. It is my belief that nurture, not nature, is responsible for malignant and antisocial behaviours.

That is

to say, everybody is born with good personalities and what turns some into criminals is parental neglect and lack of

education

. Many studies have shown that children who are not supervised by their parents on a regular basis are many times more likely to go off the rails, commit acts of selfishness or to behave aggressively against others.

This

rationalizes why I think a good number of prisoners after being released will not repeat their offences if they are given

In addition

time

which can be misspent.

For example

Nevertheless

perspective. Those who oppose claim that the potential program of giving

to criminals can cost a huge amount of money from the Government budget.

However

, considering the

program is not a waste of taxpayers’ money. What has been discussed above has effectively corroborated my view that
