Many criminals commit crimes as soon as they released from prison. What do you think are the causes of this? What possible solutions can you suggest?

There has been a high

rate

of

recidivism

around the world. The high

recidivism

rate

can be the consequence of a lack of support from

society

and a lack of social

skills

. These can be resolved with changes in social attitudes toward

criminals

and with the introduction of a

rehabilitation

system.

To begin

with, criminal re-offence can be made because they feel they do not belong to

society

when they are released from prison.

In other words

, people around them would consider them a risk and try to avoid them.

This

would make them feel embarrassed or even furious.

In addition

, they do not have any social

skills

that can secure jobs. During prison time, they spend their time doing menial work or doing nothing, thereby, the economic situation is getting worse upon release. These two causes definitely are conducive to committing re-offence. To reduce the

recidivism

rate

,

society

needs to change.

First

of all, people need to treat

criminals

equally without any stereotypes.

Then

,

criminals

would feel belonged to

society

and try to become more moral beings.

Second

of all,

society

should provide

rehabilitation

programs when they serve their sentences. If they can get access to courses, libraries, and families without any problems, they could develop some

skills

that will help them financially after being released.

For example

, Sweden has the lowest

recidivism

rate

in the world attributable to its well-operating

rehabilitation

programs.

Therefore

, helping

criminals

to feel belonged in

society

and to improve their social

skills

while behind the bars would alleviate the criminal re-offence

rate

. To sum up, prisoners can make other criminal offences upon release because they do not feel belonged in

society

and lack

skills

that can help them be financially stable. To solve the problem, social respect and

rehabilitation

programs should be provided to crime-committed persons so that they can feel belong and develop social

skills

.

This

way, we can resolve a high

recidivism

rate

and prevent

criminals

from committing other crimes.
