Studies show that crime rates are lower among those with educational degrees. Therefore, the best way to reduce the crime rate is to educate criminals while they are still in prison. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Crime is a growing issue across the world.Many people believe that education in

prison

can help reduce crime rates.I am inclined to agree and disagree with the matter at hand. Some agree with the benefits of educating

criminals

because by educating

criminals

,they will understand their ,mistake and consequences and will not repeat their actions.

For example

, there was a tv show that showed how being mistreated in

prison

can change a person and help them to become a better part of society.

Moreover

,educating

criminals

while they are in

prison

will help prevent the domino effect of one criminal influencing another.

Furthermore

,if

criminals

are released from

prison

with a diploma ,it can help them find jobs after

prison

.

Consequently

,they will not need to steal anymore to survive since they will have a stable income.

However

,there are those who disagree with the benefits of educating

criminals

,one of the reasons is that most

criminals

are a part of a gang and they are loyal to it and will rejoin after incarceration.

For instance

, the vibes cartel from Jamaica committed consecutive murders after being released from

prison

.

Also

.many

criminals

after being incarcerated can not get a job,because employers do not want to hire

criminals

.

This

occurs due to a lack of trust from the employer and community.To add, some

criminals

find it easier to make money while being a criminal rather than working hard.It is clear that

criminals

have little support while out of

prison

,which causes them to return to old negative habits. In conclusion,there are some who believe that educating

criminals

may have a positive impact on the overall crime rate.Despite that,there are others who do not agree with that opinion.
