Band 6+: Some people who have been in prison become good citizens later. Some people think that having these people to give a talk to school students is the best way to tell them about the dangers of committing a crime. Do you agree or disagree?

In contemporary society, educating related to social vices is a pressing issue for both parents and schools. While some argue that inviting former inmates to speak to students is the most effective method to raise awareness of carrying out crime, I reckon that there is a more alternative approach to address the issue.

Hosting talks by reformed criminals to adolescents can offer certain advantages. To begin with, those who have undergone an arduous process through correctional facilities and rehabilitation centers serve as compelling examples to prove that if commiting a crime or breaking unlawful activities, individuals have to pay for mistakes by harsh punishment and even lengthy incarcerations. For another, ex-prisoners can share the feeling of being imprisoned and isolated from freedom, thereby making the young listeners fully aware of the adverse impacts of crimes. Henceforth, such sessions can provide students with firsthand insights into the risks associated with criminal behavior through vivid narratives and real- life experiences.

Nevertheless, I firmly believe that there exist more impactful educational remedy. Educatord can introduce crimonology as a primary subject in educational curriculum for educating adolescents on crime-related matters during formative years and beyond, showcasing the life conjectories of former prisoners through documentaries and fatual data, and elucidating the various motives behind criminal behaviors, which can instill a holistic view of these issues.

In conclusion, engaging in dialogue with ex-convicts are likely to prevent potential future crimes whereas I posit that a more sustanable method is intergrating criminology in the educational syllabus to address the root causes.
