Some people think that the best way to reduce crimes is to apply longer prison sentences, other people think that there are better methods of doing so. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There are

people

who assume the best possible method of crime reduction is prolonging

prison

sentences and many others are fans of different ways of punishment. As far as I am concerned, the

second

group

have a better point due to the reasons which will be discussed in the following paragraphs. The

first

group

of

people

strongly believe a longer

sentence

is a practical and beneficial

way

of punishment for

criminals

. These

the

second

party firmly maintains that a longer

sentence

should not be considered a flawless method,

however

keeping wrongdoers in jail will keep them away from society for a while, and it does not have a permanent effect on one’s behaviours and mindset. As we have seen so far in the legal system method, guilty individuals will continue their previous life as soon as their

sentence

period has ended.

On the other hand

, being in

prison

paves the

way

for

criminals

to meet other prisoners and

as a result

, they will cooperate in evil jobs after the termination of their

sentence

. Without a shadow of a doubt establishing educational classes and motivational speeches can alter their mindset to choose a better route than the previous one.

In addition

, financial support for sentenced

people

to start a new career will be beneficial for their future. There is no denying the fact that gone are the days when the only possible punishment for

criminals

was a long

prison

sentence

. Making a move to change personalities and attitudes toward a better condition would be more efficient. We should try to nurture autonomous

Hence

due to the reasons which were discussed in previous paragraphs, the

second

group

might have a better point of view which they believe longer
