Some people believe that once a person becomes a criminal, he will always be a criminal. Do you agree with this statement? Provide specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

Some individuals think that if someone has once committed a
crime
, he or she will repeat it, as they stay a criminal forever.
This
essay completely disagrees with that statement, owing to the type of
crime
and individual characteristics of a
person
. Many
people
who have committed a
crime
even once, face many problems in their lives after serving a sentence.
This
is because their authority gets decreased and many
people
judge them, as they live with the idea that if a
person
was

a criminal, nothing changes - they will stay a criminal forever. But actually,
this
is not true. Some

that

person
X a criminal. Sometimes
criminals
are even not guilty, but they cannot talk about that because of different reasons,
for example
, they may be blackmailed with the lives of their family members and so on. These
people
are officially
criminals
, but in fact, they are not. From that, we can understand that they will not always be
criminals
as they even were not ever. The TV channel namely NTV interviewed 250
criminals
, 111 said that they were not guilty and would never do something illegal,
while
139 admitted their guilt and 122 of them promised that they would never commit a
crime
again.
However
, committing a
crime
for the
second,
third and even more times depends on personality very much. Various individuals have different characters. Punishment can affect
criminals
differently. Some of them may understand that they should
change
their lifestyle and be far from illegal actions, meanwhile, other
criminals
will never ever
change
and will do the same when they get free. Society should not think that
if

one criminal is unchangeable, all of them are.
Furthermore
, most of the
criminals
tend to
change
rather than commit a
crime
again. Again,
according to
the first example,

of 233 out of 250
criminals
promised to

and not repeat their actions again.
To conclude
,
this
essay does not support the idea that
criminals
always stay
criminals
, as staying a criminal or not depends on the type of
crime
and the criminal's personality.
