Studies show that crime rates are lower among those with educational degrees. Therefore, the best way to reduce the crime rate is to educate criminals while they are still in prison. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Many believe that criminal

education

during the prison period is the most effective method to prevent

crimes

. I utterly disagree with

this

statement compared to other alternatives which are early-year

education

for all residents and stricter punishments for offenders.

To begin

with,

instead

of educating criminals, early

education

is more useful.

This

is because prevention is better than cure.

In other words

, it is much easier to control normal people than to fix already offenders because when ordinary citizens have the right mindset and are aware of

crimes

, they will avoid committing them.

Likewise

, students can learn about

crimes

in early-year schools, and

then

they might be afraid of doing

such

bad actions as adults.

For example

, some Asian countries are educating secondary students to avoid committing criminal behaviour.

As a result

, these nations have less crime rates compared to non-educated ones.

Additionally

, criminal rates can be curbed by more stringent rules by governments.

This

means that governments can intervene and issue stricter guidelines when it comes to

crimes

,

therefore

, residents can be afraid of committing

crimes

. These evolved more rigorous punishments

such

as longer prison time or heavy fines.

For instance

, when some did stealing

crimes

, they could be in prison

instead

of just paying fines.

Therefore

, stealing rates will be decreased

due to

those strict laws.

To conclude

, I hold the belief that criminal behaviour can be capped by some viable measures

such

as

education

before people do wrong actions and a system of serious rules for those who commit

crimes

.
