#offenders #crimes #first #punishment #measures
Many
criminals
 who come out of
prison
 after serving their first sentence become professional
criminals
.
This
essay
 will discuss the main cause of
this
 behaviour including lack of rehabilitation and difficulty finding regular employment once released.
This
essay
 will
also
 suggest
solutions
 that should be implemented to deal with
criminals
 who re-offend. Most first-time
offenders
 commit crimes again, once they have been released from
prison
,
due to
 the lack of rehabilitation whilst in
prison
.
For example
,
offenders
 in
prison
 are not given a chance to retrain and learn new skills for their future
instead
 they get mixed up with other
criminals
 and learn how to commit more serious crimes.
Additionally
, these
offenders
 do not find permanent jobs after coming out of
prison
.
As a result
, many of them struggle financially which leads them back to crime, regardless of the consequences. There are two effective
solutions
 to the problem of repeat
offenders
. One way to tackle
this
 is to ensure that all
criminals
 entering
prison
 are given a chance to retrain with useful skills which will hopefully help them to get a job after they have served their sentence. Another method of dealing with
criminals
 who re-offend is to have more supervision and checks in place once they are back in society. These
solutions
 will help them to reintegrate into society and give them some means of supporting themselves financially. In conclusion, a large number of
criminals
 who serve their first sentence, leave
prison
 only to re-offend.
This
essay
 discussed how lack of rehabilitation and trouble in finding employment lead first-time
offenders
 back to crime.
This
essay
also
 suggests that
solutions
 to
this
 problem are twofold: to provide skilful training
while
 they are in
prison
 and have more oversight once they are back in society.
