Many offenders commit more crime after serving their first punishment. Why is this happening and what measures can be taken to tackle this problem?

Many felonies after being imprisoned for the

first

time, they continue to commit crimes

further

,which could be due to a number of reasons.

This

essay will elucidate the reasons of increased crimes by felonies and

also

advocate the necessary measures required to be taken to tackle

this

growing issue.

Firstly

,In most of the prisons across globe offenders who have committed different crimes are put together in a cell,which poses to be a bad influence to the people who have committed minor offences like petty theft or corruption.

Furthermore

, the society continues to be indifferent towards people who have served time irrespective of how minor their offences are, and

also

getting a job would always be challenging as most of the organisations refuse to give them an opportunity,and because of all these reasons recidivism rate has been increasing in the recent past.

Although

one cannot justify crime and needs to be punished according to the law,

however

for minor crimes like petty theft or corruption they can choose an alternative way of punishing rather than shutting them in jail.

For instance

: In countries like south Korea for minor crimes offenders are made to do mandatory community services.

Also

society needs to stop discriminating prisoners and not allowing them to make a living. It is imperative that organizations must come forward and offer them jobs and learn to trust and give them a

second

chance in life as not everyone who commits crime are bad people To recapitulate,

Although

in the recent past there has been an increase in recidivism crimes

this

can

also

be tackled and reduced by using the various methods mentioned earlier.
