Band 4+: Studies show that many criminals have a low level of education. For this reason, people believe that the best way to reduce crime is to educate people in prison so they can get a job when leave prison. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Study demonstrates that criminals have low education level, hence some people believe studying in prisons could help them to get a job when their punishment end. I completely agree for several reasons.

On the one hand, there are some reasons that oppose this dilemma. To begin with major reason that remaining of bad behavior, precisely after they leave prison, they might do not change for better. Additionally, lessons that provided might do not interest them, hence they do not focus on classes. In 2023, team of researchers. For example, conducted a research, it mainly focused on prisoners’ behavior in classes, however the result was frustratingly bad, that is 80 percent of criminals did not concentrate on lessons. A further major reason is that some criminals might sentenced for life imprisonment. To be precise, studying does not profit them, therefore they do not learn. In 2021, team of researchers, for example, has conducted research in jail, and 30 percent of them have got life sentence, as a result 28 percent of them hardly concentrate on lessons.

On the other hand, there are some motives that support this view. Firstly, their moral might change for better, namely an education that be given in jails might change them. In 2022, team of scientists, for example, found that, most of the prisoners changed for better. Furthermore, earning money, namely if individuals do not work, they cannot find money, therefore it leads to poverty. Also, it not only leads to poverty, but what is more it leads to unemployment which is nowadays big issue in the world. in the United States due to robots, people, for example, cannot find a job, so it results in poverty. Lastly, lawbreaker that served their sentence might want to work in some professions which kindness needed. Nursery nurses, for example, need confidence, and cuteness, consequently it is very hard, so learning confidence, and tuition helps them.

In sum, in spite of some motives like remaining of bad behavior, there are also some causes such as changing for better. Therefore, I completely agree.
