Some people believe that in order to reduce crimes, prisoners should be given longer prison sentences while some people think that there are other alternative ways. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

To reduce crime rates, great efforts have been made to achieve them. Now there are disputes as to whether we should extend
prison
sentence time or not. In my opinion, we have other options, categorizing
crimes
and taking relative measures. Admittedly, the main point of prisons is to take away dangerous people from our communities.
For example
, those who murder others in a cold-blood way must be restricted

Thus

longer is a good solution.
However

Therefore

other sectors as our budgets are never unlimited.
Therefore
, I tend to think that we can take other alternative solutions. For the
first
point, we should categorize prisoners as not all of them are murders.
For instance
, murderers and drunk drivers should not be put in the same
prison
.
In addition
, we can ask communities to monitor those who have committed relatively slight
crimes

such
as stealing.
This
can not only force them to correct their mistakes but
also
give them a deterrence that they cannot commit
crimes
. In conclusion,
although
long
prison
sentences may reduce
crimes
to some extent,
this
is not the best way for all
crimes
. We should adopt various measures
to

crimes
so that we can save social resources as well as reduce
crimes
