Nowadays, extent as ‘giving knowledge to people will decrease the amount of crime’ is popular. But in my opinion education does not influence on crime. I believe that one of the effective solution to these kind of problems are punishment like a prison.
First of all, crime does not depend on education. Some people can do not know the rules of their country, because of having low level of education. But most of rules are popular, and well known to all kind of knowledge stage of people. I am not sure that education helps to avoid crime. Because I have been read about lots of scientists who are known as education doctors. But many of them ruined rules to have successful research. Human interested in one prospect will do everything to achieve that goal. So nothing as being smart or intellectual does not affect on its move.
However, in my opinion, prison helps many people to avoid non allowance laws. In psychology research in Yale university explained that people more often listens to something, if they are afraid of them. Punishment as prison scares people of losing their best moments of life. If someone wants to do something not approved in law, he will think not about doing it, but about regretting about it when they lose their time on prison.
To overall, prison is better affects on decreasing the amount of crime that providing education. Crime do not choose intellect, but human’s fhobias choose what to do in life
