Many offenders commit more crimes after serving the first punishment. Why is this happening, and what measures can be taken to tackle this problem?

After serving their

first

sentence, a majority of offenders commit more crimes.

This

is mainly due to the lack of rehabilitation programs and difficulty in finding a job after getting released from prison. There are a number of solutions that can be implemented to effectively stop offenders from committing a crime again.

Firstly

, the reason behind the increase in crimes by criminals after serving their

first

sentence is that by staying with other convicts they learn new and better techniques to commit a crime.

For instance

, they make other criminals as their friends, who can help them to enter the criminal world once they are outside. Due to

this

, they are never rehabilitated, the primary purpose for which they were sent to prison.

Secondly

, the

problem

of repeat crimes by offenders is owing to the nonavailability of chances for all convicts to retrain and learn new skills that can help them get a job outside after they have completed their sentence. There are two effective ways by which

this

problem

of more crimes committed by offenders after serving

first

imprisonment can be solved. One way is to provide them with a chance to retrain themselves with skills that can help them with employment. By doing

this

, it will make it easier for them to reintegrate back into the society and

also

the salary from work will support them financially. Another method to handle

this

problem

is to monitor their activities closely after their release. After realizing that they are under observation, they will not do anything which could send them back to prison. In conclusion, giving training and keeping them under supervision should be effective in solving the

problem

of criminals committing more crimes. If the government implements these solutions,

then

it will definitely help in decreasing crime rates.
