48.Some people believe that in order to reduce crimes, prisoners should be given longer prison sentences, while some people think there are other alternatives. Discuss both views and give your opinion
Some say that longer
jail
time
can lead to a decrease in crime
cases, while
others would argue that there are better ways to reduce law violations. This
essay would argue that although
offering a better education can reduce crime
cases, criminals in jail
, have a longer time
to change
their behaviour, so this
is the best way .
On the one hand, people
should be taught since little about how everything works. This
is because children do not know what is wrong and what is right, then
, when they get older it might be difficult to change
their way of thinking. When people
are in middle school, teachers and families should teach them about the correct and incorrect actions and the consequences, so they will not carry out any crime
. For instance
, in Spain, all private schools will invite police and people
and perform conferences to talk about the most common crimes and how to avoid getting on the wrong path. However
, I think that this
will only stop them from breaking laws when they are at a certain age, but when they get older, they might forget about it, so individuals should be punished so they can remember.
On the other hand
, with longer time
in jail
, individuals will be more aware to not commit any fault, since spending too much time
in prison is not the best choice. Also
, with longer prison time
, the lawbreakers have more time
to change
their behaviour and character, in this
way, the police and guards can make sure that when the delinquents get out of jail
, they have changed completely so they won’t carry out any crime
again. For example
, in China, people
that had committed a crime
, are caught in jail
until they have changed their habits. In my opinion, this
point of view is preferable because the security of citizens is guaranteed and when the criminals get back to normal life, they won’t continue committing violent actions again.
In conclusion, although
education can allow people
to learn about the rights and the laws that individuals should follow, it can’t stop them from performing crimes, and this
is why it is more useful to make larger prison sentences and change
their behaviour and conduct in jail
