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.

In many parts of the world, governments are focusing on different approaches to narrow down crimes. There are some people, who contend that

crime

can be diminished by giving long prison sentences.

However

, I believe, there are other alternative methods that can change the mindset of criminals and result in lower

rate.

Firstly

, those who argue that longer punishments will stagger the

crime

rate in the

society

might believe in the fact that less criminals on the streets lead to fewer crimes. To illustrate

this

Furthermore

Hence
