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 an uncomfortable truth that many criminals commit more illegal acts after they are released from

jail

. There are several causes to

this

phenomenon

such

as

lack

of social support.

This

essay will discuss what I believe to be the reasons for

this

issue and suggest some solutions to mitigate

this

problem. To embark on,

according to

the Indonesian national report on crimes, more than half of

offenders

committed the second and more crimes after serving the first punishment. There are a few reasons for

this

, one of them is a

lack

of social support or social acceptance. When these

offenders

came back from

jail

and started their new lives in a community; they often find it hard to get a job because many employers refuse to hire them.

As a result

, they once again commit a robbery or shoplifting just to make ends meet. Another factor contributing to the high incidence of

second crime

among these ex-criminals is probably a

lack

of education and practical skills. most of these

offenders

do not have a degree, and they spent a huge amount of time in

jail

.

Therefore

, when they go out, there do not meet the criteria or

lack

of skills required for employment.

However

, there are a few steps that can be taken by the government

as well as

the community to reduce crime rates.

First,

there should be programs in

jail

facilities to provide inmates with practical skills or job training so that when they finished their time in

jail

; they were able to make money and continue their lives. In conclusion, many

offenders

commit more crimes after serving their time because the community could not accept them as a member of their society.

However

, the government could take a few steps to help these

offenders

function in society

so that they would not have the chance to do another crime.
