Some people think it’s better to choose friends who always have the same opinions as them. Some people believe it’s good to have friends who sometimes disagree with them. Discuss both views and give your opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant example from your own knowledge or experience.

In our society, there are people who think some prisoners should be allowed to perform

community

work

without getting paid rather than keeping them behind the bars. In my opinion,

this

is a correct approach as our efforts should be in improving the

community

by teaching moral lessons to the offenders and not by implementing the brutal laws practiced in the past which excluded them from the society.

Firstly

, let's discuss the criminal activity trend in the recent years. There has been daily reporting of heinous crimes

such

as rape, murder, theft, etc., in the news in spite of all the stringent criminal laws in effect.

In addition

, various countries have made amendments in the laws to make it much stricter,

however

, the incidents are still rising.

For example

, in India separate law was created to punish rapists with a death sentence, but there is still a surge in rape cases.

Hence

,

this

proves that these laws cannot solve

this

issue on a permanent basis.

Secondly

, let's discuss the role of NGO's in resolving

this

crisis currently prevailing in the world. Many jail authorities in India have agreed on allowing prisoners to do

community

work

after a request from the NGO's.

For instance

, Crime Help is on the non profit organization who has involved criminals in their tailoring

work

and they have been quite successful at it as the offenders have accepted their mistake and now look to overcome

this

guilt by concentrating on their future. The

work

given to them helps in improving skills and when they complete their duration of stay behind the bars, it will be easy for them to survive as they can find a good job. In conclusion, I feel there is a strong need to increase these

community

work

as

this

could help wrongdoers in understanding the mistakes and overcoming them by getting involved is some

work

which could help the society.

Also

, the core reasons behind increase in crime activities should be investigated and necessary steps to finish them should be taken by the administration.
