Some people think that the best way to reduce crime is to give longer prison sentences. Others, however, believe there are better alternative ways of reducing crime. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
While a certain group might believe jail time should be extended for offenders, some other groups think there are effective approaches to decreasing crime. I will discuss both views and give an opinion at the end.
First
of all, the crime itself is bad for any society and offenders should be punished. Linking Words
However
, offenders should be given a longer prison sentence and Linking Words
this
is mainly because when most individuals indulge in Linking Words
this
act realise they would spend most of their lives in jail, they make proper choices. Linking Words
For example
, a father who understands he would spend the rest of his life in prison if caught in a robbery would certainly think about his family and avoid Linking Words
such
thoughts. Linking Words
Therefore
, a longer prison sentence will be an effective way to reduce crime. Linking Words
However
not the only effective means.

On the other hand
, research has shown that most of the population who commit the most crimes are unemployed community, I strongly believe that if more jobs were to be made available and if people's hard work will earn them the kind of wages they deserve. Linking Words
Hence
, it would decrease misconduct in society. Linking Words
Furthermore
, other alternative solutions could be putting police stations in every neighbourhood accompanied by CCTVs and developing mobile applications to alert authorities of anyone in danger. Linking Words
For instance
, a one-click mobile application informs the nearest policeman that someone around him is in danger. In my view, if Linking Words
such
measures are in place, the rate will reduce in any community.
In conclusion, there is no single approach to reducing criminal activities in any society. Linking Words
Nevertheless
, I opine that while increasing jail time would reduce Linking Words
this
act, other approaches should be affected as well.Linking Words
