In most countries,
prison
 is an effective solution to the problem of crime. Some people think it is a more effective solution to provide a better
education
. In my opinion, I believe that
education
 can more effective solution than
prison
 and I will explain my reason in the following paragraph. On the one hand, Penology theory in the past believes torturing a person in
jail
 is an effective way to reduce crime and change the offender's behaviours.
However
, penologists nowadays do not agree with
this
 concept. Sending offenders to
prison
 in order to revenge cannot help prisoners change additude. Thailand has a statistic that 70% of drug and robbery prisoner was sent back to
prison
. In the worst case, They have a new bad friend in
prison
 and after them was impunity. They commit again because it is easier to have money than to work in good moral careers.
Moreover
, criminal procedure in political cases in Thailand is worst than false imprisonment before a judge will sentence. To illustrate, More protestors from 2020 to 2021 in Thailand were sent to
prison
 before being sentenced. It is the worst action that youth people who fight for better lives were imprisoned in
jail
 by a judge under a dictatorship government.
On the other hand
, We found that most prisoners came from poor families and lacked the
education
 to earn a living in future. Some prisoners are youth people who can not find a high salary career. Social conditions make them must be a robber or drug trafficker.
Then
, They were sent to
jail
 after sentences.
Accordingly
, Having a high-quality
education
 is the duty of the government to make teenagers have a better future.
Then
, I believe they are not interested in illegal activities. In conclusion, Crime is caused by poverty and lack of
education
. Sending offenders to
jail
 cannot reduce problems and the
jail
 will be overcrowded.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
