Some people think that the best way to reduce crime is to give longer prison sentences. Others, however, believe there are better alternative ways of reducing crime. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some people would argue that expanding the period of imprisonment is the most effective method to deter criminals, while others believe that reducing

crime

rate

has alternative options. I agree with

this

as providing training and

education

for prisoners can reduce the

rate

of

crime

effectively. A better alternative way of reducing

crime

is by providing staff training and

education

. Most of the root cause of committing

crime

is a financial problem.

This

means that people are easy to be unemployment because of lacking professional skills and without any diploma.

Hence

, they have to commit a

crime

to survive. To illustrate

this

, a long-term national program in Welsh in 2015 showed that less than 5% of people, who has skill training and

education

, has had a record of committing a

crime

.

Therefore

, I agree entirely that reducing

crime

can utilize alternative way. It is widely believed that light punishment is regarded as to be soft on

crime

. One for

this

reason is that most people consider a severe punishment as the best way to deter crimes. In fact, there does not have a direct connection between the level of punishment and the criminal estimate.

For instance

, the United States still has the highest

crime

rate

even they have the highest incarceration

rate

and harsh sentencing in the world.

Besides

, two-thirds of released prisoners are rearrested with three years. In conclusion,

although

views might differ on the issue of how to reduce the

crime

rate

, I agree that there is a better option to lower the number of offenders by providing professional training and

education

.
