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

It is known to us that high crime rate is a ta

bout topic in many countries and need to be addressed. While some people believe that giving longer jail sentences will reduce

this

phenomenon, I tend to believe that there are other better ways that authorities can have a try. Indeed, those who advocate longer

prison

sentences can reduce crime effectively are, without their reasons. Long

prison

sentences will increase the costs and risks of crime. People will control their be

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

ecause they will lose everything, including their freedom, property and future, once they violate the law.

However

, in modern

society

, it is widely acknowledged that sentencing people in

prison

is to educate them and help them integrate with our

society

after discharging not just for punishing. Long

prison

will make them get isolated from the real

society

, leading to difficulty in making a living after discharging and increasing the risk of committing crimes again. Naturally, it will bring our

society

negative influences about our security and social stability. If long

prison

sentences are useless to reduce crimes, it is urgent to find some better measures to change

this

situation. For one thing, we should improve the ed

educational

acilities, holding training programs. If people in prisons can accept training and get some survival skills, it will be helpful and useful after discharging, reducing the likelihoods of re-crimes. For another, governments should take active measures to ensure that they can integrate with the community.

For example

, we can hold some activity to local residents, educating them not to discriminate people have been in

prison

ill reduce crimes more effectively. In conclusion, it is useless to implement strict law and long

to reduce crimes, we should help them to integrate with the community, because they are an indispensable part of our

society
