Some people who have been in prison become good citizens later. Some people think that they are the best people to talk to school students the danger of committing a crime. Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays youth crime rates are soaring in many countries. Some schools invited these people who have been transformed into great residents during their sentences. Some are concerned that it could set a negative example for our kids.
However
, in my view, it is a great way to help students to avoid illegal behaviours and foster the development of their personal goals in the long run. On the one hand, listening to the speeches given by former inmates prevents teenagers from misconduct, helps to curb the crime rate and builds a safe and harmonious community.Because those population could share their stories with kids of what directed them to the violation, and what were the consequences of their illegal conduct, what they learned from their unpleasant experiences, which could teach juniors what are correct and what should be avoided.
By contrast
, the vast majority of youth criminals did not realize their offensive wrongdoing's impacts on their own and their victims.
For example
, recent research in B.C. public institutions showed that the number of teenage assaults has dramatically declined in those schools which carry out infraction education, which means it builds teens' awareness of the consequences of wrongdoing.
On the other hand
, some are concerned that it might give kids a negative pattern, because they may deem that even though they would have been jailed if they did some wrongdoing , they still have chances of free living. Having said that, I believe that it is a totally wrong point of view, because the more cases they listened to, the more fear of wrongdoing was built.
Besides
that, they can learn how to act as a perfect citizen by sharing the experiences they learned at school about how they act to be a perfect resident in our community.
For example
, they can learn what performances are beneficial to the community and how they do to achieve their personal goals in the future. In conclusion,
although
someone is worried that those people's appearances may result in a negative effect, it is believed to be beneficial for children to build awareness of justice and how to develop their personal goals. So the schools should invite those to teach teens to help students
further
their values.
