Secondly
, after they are released from prisons, they suffer from poverty since they do not have social
skills
 and practical
skills
.
For example
, a survey conducted by the Korea Crime Research Foundation has revealed that almost 30% of
criminals
 have broken laws due to famine and poverty. As the example clearly illustrates, the poor environment of
criminals
 can be a key factor to involving crime multiple. ​
However
, it is not all doom and gloom as there are specific methods to handle these problems. Not only can working for public services causes rehabilitation among offenders, but it may

 bring about acquiring various
skills

 as cleaning
skills
 and construction
skills
.
For instance
, as the Korean government has provided vocational courses with a practice that contributes to society, the re-offend rate has significantly decreased than before.
Furthermore
, the society improved without using state funds ​ In conclusion, due to gathering with other
criminals
 and a lack of practical
skills
, the majority of
criminals
 re-offend, but learning vocational
skills
 can be an efficient means of not being involved in crime again. At the same time, public services can be developed by
