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. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.

Crime
has increased dramatically over the period of decades. It is often argued by some
people
that criminals should be behind the bars for a longer period of time to reduce
crime
rates, whereas,
people
on the other, opine that there are other
ways
which are better than increasing prisoner's sentences. In
this
essay, I shall discuss both views followed by my opinion. At the outset, some
people
think that the best way to reduce
crime
is to increase the length of criminal imprisonment. In
this
way, that person will not get another chance to do a
crime
,
also
other
people
who are involved in different types of
crime
will be reluctant to do bad things.
For Instance
, If authorities will keep one gangster behind the bars, and cut off his communication from outside,
then
he will not be able to do
further
crimes.
Therefore
, it is important to increase punishments from years to decades. On the other side, I think there are many other
ways
to lower the rate of
crime
.
Firstly
, there should be proper sessions in jails, to brainwash all the bad things from the person's mind. So, that person can improve himself and comes out with good thoughts only.
Secondly
, the government should find the root cause of the problems in which crimes are increasing.
For example
, robberies are increasing so that poor
people
can fulfil their basic needs, so if their basic necessities will get fulfilled
then
obviously there not be any robberies.
Hence
, finding the solution and causes of the problem are the best
ways
to reduce crimes all over the world. To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that increasing the time of imprisonment is one way, but there are many other best
ways
such
as finding causes and
