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

Nowadays, every time we surf the net or watch recent news on TV we often learn about committing different kinds of crimes.

This

means that it is already a common thing for us to see an increase in the number of crimes. And seeing all of these, some people believe that the most efficient method to decrease the

crime

is to imprison criminals for longer periods.

However

, others stick

on

Suggestion

to

with

the

opinion

that there are superior models of diminishing the rate of offences. I partly agree with the latter idea and in

this

essay I will support my

opinion

with examples.

Initially

, looking back to

sources

Suggestion

the sources

and reasons of any crimes, we can notice one thing that every person’s criminal

behavior

behaviour

forms in the family and school life conditions. If children are morally educated well in the family and school, they are less likely to do any offence in the future.

Furthermore

, police can achieve better result in reducing

crime

by giving some explanations to the teachers about the children’s probability of committing

crime

.

This

may lead policemen to obtaining

reduction

Suggestion

a reduction

in the number of would be criminals too.

Secondly

, the reason why I disagree with the

opinion

of a

prison

as the most efficient way is that, it is unfair to use

this

kind of punishment for some minor crimes. Take shoplifters for an example, they may be punished by using costly fines for their petty crimes like fraud and theft, or they

also

can be used in community services

instead

. In

this

case,

prison

can be an option if the

crime

is more serious or criminals pose a threat to society.

For instance

, murders and terrorists should be imprisoned to ensure the safety of other citizens.

On the other hand

, there is an argument that the aim of prisons is rehabilitation. In some jails offenders may receive

education

an education

and have enough time to think carefully about what they had done when they were a criminal in freedom.

As a result

, they may never re-offend

crime

. In conclusion, Even though there is a common believe that

prison

is the most powerful way to lessen the

crime

, In my

opinion

, there are

also

other types of methods

such

as improving the work of police and applying costly fines. Eventually, I think

prison

should be a punishment for hazardous crimes and offences.
