Some people argue that sending criminals to prison is the best method of dealing with them. However, others believe that education and job training are better way to help them. Discuss both views and give your opinion

People have different views about how to mitigate the

crime

rates. While there are some arguments that putting

lawbreakers

behind the bars is the best way to tackle them, I personally believe that giving them good vocational training and higher

education

would reduce the problem. There are two main reasons why it could be asserted that locking

offenders

up in jail is appropriate. The

first

reason is that the

criminals

will no longer pose threats to

society

. Obviously, removing the negative individuals from

society

will ensure the safety of the citizens, which relieves the stress in the local people about dealing with those

criminals

again and help them to get a better life condition. Another reason is that placing

lawbreakers

behind the bars would be a deterrent to the potential

offenders

. As watching

criminals

be punished and serve a long sentence in jail, potential

offenders

might rethink the

crime

they are going to commit, which

also

spreads a lesson to

society

that will deter these

criminals

from committing another

crime

. Despite the above arguments, I would assert that

education

and vocational training should be taken into consideration in order to rehabilitate

lawbreakers

. It is obvious that the root reason why people end up behind the bars is that they did not have good

education

or

job

opportunities.

Therefore

, if

offenders

were able to learn a specific skill

that is

required for a

job

, they could find a well-paid

job

to cover up their needs and contribute positively to

society

. These not only equip the

offenders

with necessary

job

skills but

also

help them have a

second

chance to have a normal life, as well as reduce the resentment to

society

. To take Finland as an example, the

crime

rate in

this

country never exceeds 0.5%, which is the lowest point in the

crime

rate. To achieve

this

success, Finland's government with authorities released a program to help

offenders

receive a good

education

and vocational training yet be controlled strictly by `o` In conclusion, there are convincing arguments both for and against methods to deal with

lawbreakers

, but it seems to me that giving them opportunities to adopt new skills would rehabilitate those

criminals

.
