The way for us to approach the criminal justice is a topic that be discussed in the few past years, with some suggestion that the legal system should focus more on rehabilitation rather than just give them strong and harsh punishment. The essay will explore my level of agreement with the topic above.
Supporter of this trend believe that the aim of this help transgression to change their behaviour and make them to become a citizen that comply with the law. In addition, they provide that using only strong punishment does not solve that root of problem and even worse, it can lead to a cycle of repeat offenses and will never stop. By concentrate in rehabilitation, each individual and perpetrator have chance to learn new skills, address their issues and have a better chance to change their life.
Talking about rehabilitation, we can’t ignore its advantages that it bring for legal system. One of its primary benefits is that is can reduce chances for lawbreaking to committed. Rehabilitation programs, such as education and treatment, usually aim to reduce the key factors of criminal behaviours. By providing more and more tools for crime’s change, this will reduce the offender, which both bring pros for society and individuals. Another benefits of rehabilitation is that is it bring cost-effective. Investing in rehabilitation can safe more money than just put offenders in jail for a very long time. By helping people to integrate with society, they are less likely to commited a crime, which reduce pressure of the legal system.
To conclude, I strongly support the trend that legal system should focus more on rehabilitation than punishments for criminal. Because rehabilitation bring us many benefits such as lower recidivism rates and cost-effectiveness.
