Some people believe that a person’s criminal record should be removed when they reach the age of 18. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is argued that the people’s unlawful history needs to be abolished, after they attain the age of 18. I plainly agree with
this
notion because it can make them civilized, and will enhance their acceptability by others. Linking Words
This
essay will discuss that how the decision presented above can be useful, with the reasonable example.

Firstly
, people can be relieved from the stress or the guilt due to their illegal past behaviour, if there is no visible documentation on it. Linking Words

, they can freely start a new, fresh life, and become a good member of the society. Linking Words
As a result

the number of civilized citizens will gradually enhance. To exemplify, according to an article published in the New Age magazine, in 2016, in India, the numerous people struggle to obtain a suitable job owing to their felonious history.

such
a person is not liked or accepted by others, Linking Words
then
the risk to commit a crime in the future increases. Linking Words

also
decline. Linking Words
For instance
