and suggests ways to resolve the issue. There are two reasons causing the offenders to repeat their mistakes after they have served their

punishment.

First

of all, the chances to find the jobs in the society are slim for the wrongdoers as they have criminal records.

is

interrelated to the

reason, which is the lack of rehabilitation during their serving period in the jail. The absence of correct moral behaviour as well as the essential skill sets to survive in the competitive and judgmental world lead them to choose the wrong path as they believe they do not have an option and the relevant expertise to earn a living once they are out.

two points are the reasons why they continue to commit crimes even though they know the consequences.

However

provides a means of financial support for them.

Secondly

is to ensure they are well behaved and stay out of any illegal activities.

For instance

solution would deter them from committing and serve as a warning, hopefully they will reflect and think twice afterwards. If these two solutions are taken, I believe the rate of unlawful acts perpetrated by

time offenders will decline. In conclusion, the reason why the trend of recidivism is rising is because they often have difficulties finding occupation outside and
