In some People continue to commit crimes even after being punished for it. Why do you think this happens? How can crime be stopped? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Nowadays, it is common that ex-offenders

although

this

essay, I will

initially

discuss the reasons for

this

situation, followed by my suggestions which can assist in preventing

crimes

from happening. There are primarily two factors largely responsible for recidivism. To commence with the sanctions against criminals are not harsh enough.

In other words

, being punished does not make a huge difference to offenders leading to the possibility that these people are normally unable to realise the detrimental consequences that breaching the law will entail for victims and society, and

such

behaviour is likely to be re-exhibited

as a result

.

Additionally

, former convicts are not completely accepted in society. People released from prison seem to be automatically judged as those whose character is poor. Their family and friends may not embrace them and employers refuse to recruit them.

Therefore

, employers refuse to recruit them.

Therefore

, nothing can help them to survive but to re-offend. To cease

crimes

, several approaches can be adopted.

Firstly

, the implementation of more punitive measures is effective. Only when people are truly conscious of their wrongdoing both physically and psychologically can they stop themselves from committing

crimes

.

For instance

, a longer stint of community service or jail sentence is respectively appropriate for convicts with minor

crimes

and serious ones.

Secondly

, providing more vocational training sessions and job opportunities for those with criminal records is another feasible solution. If they can earn a living independently, having sufficient money to afford accommodation and feed themselves, they are rarely motivated to participate in some illegal activities again. In conclusion, lenient punishments for

However

, if severer penalties can be meted out to prisoners and meanwhile ex-criminals are allowed to have a smoother re-entry into the community, crime issues can be tackled.
