Bài mẫu IELTS chủ đề Crimes & Punishment:

Incarceration is one of the primary forms of punishment for the commission of felony, but many have questioned its effectiveness. Others believe that providing education and training is a better way. Both sides have their merits, and I think how we should deal with lawbreakers largely depends upon the age and the type of offense.

Education and training are more suitable options for offenders who are young or when the crimes are misdemeanors because such actions will give them a chance to be productive members of society. If people who commit crimes in their teens or their twenties are sent to jail, they will be out mostly by their thirties, the prime working age. With years of training lost due to prison time, ex-convicts have limited unemployment options and become a drag to the community. In addition, misdemeanors happen mostly because of a lack of general knowledge. There are not many compulsory legal courses in schools and universities. By enlightening them through proper teaching methodologies, society can lower the chance of future reoffences.

However, certain crimes must result in prison sentences to protect the well-being of society. Cases involving homicides or aggravated assaults are best dealt with by locking up the perpetrators in confined spaces to prevent further life losses. They might get some education and training, but still must be kept away from the community. Drug traffickers and arms dealers are even more dangerous. These people are beyond redemption and should serve the maximum sentences, including capital punishment. Another class of criminals that are often overlooked is the white-collar offenders, smart people that use their minds to cheat and dupe the market. Examples include tax evasion, insider trading, or Ponzi schemes. There is no use in trying to educate and train this group. Prison is the best deterrent for their actions.

In conclusion, the ultimate purpose of any law is to create a better society, so for each crime, we should strive to find the most appropriate action that reduces any future harm. Opportunities should be given to the young and the inexperienced while organized and white-collar crimes should be heavily punished.
