Longer
prison
 sentences are seen by some as the best alternative in reducing
crime
 while others think that there are more effective ways in decreasing
crime
.
This
 essay by discussing both views agrees that obligatory working in
community
 is a more effective way in reducing
crime
 rather than prolonging
time
 sentences in
prison
. There is a considered
number
 of people who thinks that prolonging
prison
 sentences will generate fear in the criminal mind. Being aware of the lengthy
time
 that they will spend in
prison
, will discourage and stop criminals in committing
crime
. Even that prolonging punishment implements fear which could prevent the crimes, it has negative consequences
such
 as an increased
number
 of prisoners repeating crimes because of feeling discriminated by society.
For example
, according a recent data from the Ministry of Justice has shown that almost 70% of repeated crimes has come from ex-prisoner who have suffered a long
time
 in jail. It is clear that are alternative ways,
such
 as forced labour in
community
Suggestion
the community
 or rehab help in decreasing the
number
 of crimes. The rehabilitation or forced work will give the opportunity to the criminals to reintegrate more easily and quickly in society.
Therefore it
Accept comma addition
Therefore, it
 is agreed that by working and interacting with others in
community
Suggestion
the community
 will make them feel more accepted and part of it and undoubtedly, it will lead to a reduction of crimes.
For instance
, Denmark is the prime example where the
number
 of crimes has been decreased by 40% since the implement of forced work in the neighbourhood as punishment for light crimes. To conclude, there is undeniable evidence that by prolonging
time
 sentences increase the fear of doing it, but
also
 doubles the chances for repeated crimes in the future. While other believes that by educating and rehab offenders will decrease
number
 of crimes. Without any doubt, doing forced labour in the
community
 is more efficient in reducing
crime
 rather than an extension of the sentences.
