Many wrongdoers commit more crimes after serving their first punishment. Why is this happening and what measures can be taken to tackle this problem?

#wrongdoers #crimes #first #punishment #measures
It is often noticed that the culprits, in spite of serving their
jail
 term, commit a crime and make it a lifelong activity. There are several reasons for
this
 behaviour, and our community must derive a master plan to minimize
such
 incidents. There are several factors that force people into wrongdoing.
Firstly
, an individual who is out of
jail
 will find it difficult to find a job. Employers will be hesitant to offer
jobs
 to
such
 people.
For instance
, most corporates, as part of the recruitment, seek permission to perform a background check.
As a result
,
individuals
 with a criminal background will be denied
jobs
.
Secondly
,
society
 portrays
such
individuals
 as bad people, even without assessing the reason why the person went behind the bars. Eventually, due to the restricted environment, these
individuals
 are motivated to perform crimes for survival.
Society
, along with the offender plays a vital role in eradicating
this
 scenario.
To begin
 with, there must be training within the
jail
 to develop skills, that would make them capable to find
jobs
 with ease.
In addition
,
jobs
 that require monotonous work can be introduced inside
jail
 campuses as these initiatives will help
jail
 dwellers to make money.
Moreover
, training and counselling can be planned inside the
jail
, to improve the mindset of the offenders.
Therefore
society
 and
individuals
 must work together to ensure that life after punishment is more peaceful. To conclude,
although
 it is evident that one-time offender commits repeated crimes, I believe that communities must work closely with criminals and bring them to the correct path. There must be action plans coupled with various programmes to ensure that
such
individuals
 are given opportunities and care in order to prosper as better
individuals
 and contribute positive outcomes to
society
.

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
