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

Many

criminals

who finish their

first

prison

term re-offend after they are freed. To deal with

criminals

that re-offend, a variety of solutions should be used.

To begin

with, most

first

-time offenders commit crimes again after being released from

prison

because of a lack of rehabilitation while in

prison

.

In other words

, offenders are not given the opportunity to retrain and learn new skills for their future, or to build a stronger knowledge of proper human morality. When they re-enter the community,

this

creates an unstable mentality, making them more likely to become

criminals

again.

Secondly

, having a criminal record makes it harder for them to get work, they become hostile to society.

Furthermore

, due to a lack of finances, they turn to smaller offences

such

as stealing or vandalism.

For example

, crime rates are high in many countries just because the

criminals

are treated differently and embraced by the community.

As a result

, they are forced to repeat criminal behaviours. It will take the cooperation of the entire society to overcome

this

issue. The government can assist offenders by providing them with effective work skills during their re-education,

in addition

to educating them about human morals, so that they can begin a new life after being released from

prison

.

Furthermore

, the government can cooperate with residents to provide jobs for ex-prisoners. On the one hand, they require close government supervision following their release from

prison

in order to avoid re-offending,

on the other hand

, it will help people feel safer by providing jobs for them, allowing them to pay for their lives. In conclusion, people should

also

have a more open attitude toward those who have committed crimes, and not be too critical of them, because everyone has the opportunity to restart their lives regardless of background.
