Some people think that drug addicts should be treated like criminals and sent to jail, while others believe that they should be treated like patients and sent hospital. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Addiction to drugs has increased at a fast pace in recent years. Many
people
are of the view that drug
addicts
are criminals
and should be imprisoned. On the other hand
, few believe that they should be sent to hospitals and that proper treatment should be provided like normal patients. This
essay will discuss both the views and opine on the fact that not all drug
addicts
are criminals
and assistance should be granted in some cases.
Nowadays, the youth has started taking cocaine, heroin and other types of drugs as a result
of bad company, unemployment and high desires to fulfil. Not only this
but, most drug
addicts
are also
getting involved in other types of crime including petty theft, assaulting women, abuse and much more. Society has a sense of fear of these people
as they have built a bad image in their minds. Studies have shown that increase in the crime rate is the result of an increase in the volume of drug
dealers. Therefore
, it becomes necessary for the authorities to punish these people
and sent them to jail for the welfare of the general public.
On the contrary
, we need to establish a fine line between people
taking drugs and criminals
in some places. There also
exists a class of addicts
who have indulged themselves in such
activities as a result
of loneliness, loss of their immediate families, unemployment etc., and become habitual to it as it helped them in releasing anxiety and stress in the first
place. These people
need help from our government by way of their proper treatment in hospitals like other patients so that they can get rid of this
addiction and live their life in a normal manner.
In the conclusion, as per
my opinion, not all Change preposition
in
drug
addicts
are criminals
and it is very important to understand the true identity of the person behind such
habits. As treatment of every drug
addict into a better individual would contribute to the nation's growth.Submitted by cshivam2675 on
