In many countries, prison is the most common solution for crimes. However, many think that better education is the most effective way to prevent people from committing further crime. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, an increasing number of
people
are concerned about
crimes
.
However
, whether the best solution for
crimes
is imprisonment or
education
/educating
people
has caused an argument. In my view, I partly agree with the view for the following reasons.
Firstly
, it is clear that
education
is the most important foundation for making

.
In other words
, if
people
don’t have enough
education
they will lack the skills and knowledge that are needed in work because they have to find ways in life, leading to committing a crime.
Therefore
, it is necessary to give
education
to
people
.
Nevertheless
, even though some
people
have a good
education
they still commit
crimes
because of their personality, perhaps it is due to psychopathy that has to be cured, or they grew up in a terrible environment that made them feel suppressed.
Therefore
, prison is very important to make them afraid to commit
crimes
.
Moreover
, offenders when

society. In summary,
education
is very important to reduce
crimes
but only it is not enough. Sometimes imprisonment is necessary to punish offenders. Meanwhile, the government should encourage citizens to receive
education
as much as possible. By doing so, we can ensure that citizens will have
