Some people believe that a good way to reduce crime is to have longer sentences, while others think that there are alternatives to this problem. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In the modern century/ present era. there is not even a single country left. which is not suffering from the
crime
problem. It is not only a serious but a growing problem across the world.
This
eventually increases the fear in innocent
people
and force the authority to give stronger punishment to those who committed a
crime
some
people
believe that giving longer
prison
sentence to prisoners is the right
solution
while
other opines that there are many other alternative ways that will be more effective. I would discuss both opinions
along with
my view in the below paragraphs. There are many advantages of sentencing offenders to longer
prison
periods.
Firstly
a prisoner can rehabilitate himself through the services and opportunities which he gets inside the
prison
.
For example
. re-educate facility. Prisoners can get free education inside the jail which change their future life.Another benefit is more extended punishment generates fear in a criminal’s mind. I mean to say if
people
know the results of their activities,
then
they think twice before committing any
crime
.
However
, some
people
and I
also
argue that longer
prison
is not a practical
solution
because prisoner will live with other criminals which demotivate them and their character will not improve. One
solution
is that the government can provide separate schooling means practical skills to those prisoners who want to improve their lives.
In addition
to
this
government should organize seminars in which their consolers motivate the prisoner and fill positivity in their minds which keeps them away from negative thoughts.
Last
but not least, the government can
also
solve
this
problem by providing them with excellent opportunities for employment. In conclusion, even though longer
prison
generates fear in the criminal’s mind which discourages them from committing the
crime
but proper education. job opportunities and knowledge of practical skills is the better
solution
instead
of longer
prison
.

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
