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

time

.
