Some people think that criminal activities can be reduced by giving prisoners a better education inside the prison and they can get a job when they leave prison. To What Extent Do You Agree Or Disagree?

There is no room for doubt that the government needs to implement extremely effective means to tackle crime. It is often argued that

further

improvement in the level of education may be the best way of achieving

this

, as

can lead to career progression later in life. Personally, I feel that education is one of a range of action we should use, and is not the best strategy.

To begin

with, it is a widely acknowledged fact that the root cause of many criminal activities stems from poverty.

This

may result in offenders pursuing illegal

as fraud, burglary, and smuggling to earn money. For

this

reason, giving a great opportunity to be educated in their jail terms, they can enhance their practical skills, hopefully embarking on a promising career after serving sentence.

Furthermore

, in many cases, offenders need to learn codes of conduct and appropriate behaviour, as they have not been sufficiently nurtured by their parents and schools.

Therefore

, by using training programs, inmates can modify their malicious traits and characteristics which can provide enormous benefits for their social and professional skills. Of course, it is true that in certain cases we need to seek stricter ways to effectively rehabilitate offenders,

for example

, serial killers and hardened criminals. While having a personality disorder, they have shown to some extent a favourable response to the educational programs.

This

means, they can recognize their treacherous behaviours, and

thus

assume responsibility

for

their criminal activities.

However

,

this

does not overlook the role other rehabilitation strategies

such

as medical treatment of

psychologic

mental or emotional as opposed to physical in nature

disorders. To conclude, educational programs seem a practical proposition to enhance criminal`s knowledge, and professional skill, and can be a source of codes of conduct to behave reasonably in society.

Although

this

does not make it the best method to rehabilitate inmates, as some offenders suffer from personality disorders which may limit their response to education.
