Individuals argue that longer
prison
years sentence is the only way to reduce the number of crimes whilst others disagree and argue that there are better ways to solve this
. This
essay agrees with the argument that alternative ways such
as educating people and giving them resources to earn are far more beneficial than confining them to a prison
cell.
To begin
with, many people believe that offenders should be punished with long prison
sentences prison sentences

this
phenomenon can create a fear among the criminals. In other words
, if a person is already aware of the punishment for a crime
, it will discourage them from committing a crime
. To exemplify, in UAE, the rapist and murderer are usually given life long sentences, resulting in making people think twice to commit any serious crime
. Hence
, imposing strict punishments, refrain individuals from breaking the law.
However
, I believe that alternative ways such
as providing education
and creating more job opportunities can solve this
issue more effectively. Sufficient education
and engaging in job keep citizens busy and away from the crimes. To exemplify, Sweden provides free education
to its citizens and always working on creating more job for the public. That is
why Sweden is on the top on the list of peaceful countries.
In conclusion, longer prison
terms certainly help to reduce the crime
rates by implanting fear in the minds of the potential criminals and discourage them from committing any crimes. However
, eradicating the root cause of crime
by providing free education
and employment opportunities is a far better option.Submitted by shresthakrishchal on
