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

It is commonly known as a fact that many criminals repeat committing

crimes

after release.

This

is

due to

several reasons, but the most effective factor is the gaps they face after serving the first punishment.

However

,

this

problem can be tackled by implementing

policies

.

To begin

with, separating criminals from

society

creates gaps between updated information and those people's own.

Thus

, they will find it difficult to find employment, leading to financial problems.

Then

, offenders become pessimistic and express their emotions to

society

.

For example

, most second convictions occur because people who committed

crimes

once bear a grudge against

society

. Those have a belief that

society

makes their current condition, getting angry at social members.

This

demonstrates that if

this

problem is dealt with, fewer criminals engage in

crimes

.

Nevertheless

, offenders can have sufficient opportunities to fill up the blank and adapt to

society

again, with the government implementing several

policies

.

Then

, those people can melt into

society

and act as social components.

For instance

, in Korea, the Korea Rehabilitation Agency provides individuals committing assault and burglary with vocational training and job introduction to find employment after serving the punishment. The book published by

this

agency in 2020 reported that the second offence rate decreased to 3% in 2019

due to

their

policies

. In conclusion, it is evident that second convictions because of gaps they encounter are urgent problems to be alleviated. Even so, many

policies

are able to cope with that factor, declining the rate of repeated

crimes

.
