答案
How to lower the crime rate is a constant concern for the government, and opinions on how to go about this are deeply divided.
In the past, imprisonment could deter people from committing crimes to a large extent. But today it seems that simply putting people behind bars will not lead to a drop in crime; instead, the crime rate has been increasing dramatically over recent decades. Therefore, people who are used to the conservative way of dealing with crime suggest longer sentencing should be put into practice.
At first glance, a longer period of time being locked up in prison seems to be a tougher punishment, but as a matter of fact, it is neither severe enough to hardened or habitual criminals, nor makes any difference in rehabilitation of offenders. Actually, imprisonment should be used carefully; otherwise, it will be a total waste of resources or an obstacle to actually solving the problems.
So when looking for ways to handle criminals or deter potential lawbreakers, the government needs to get to the root of the offending behavior and, more importantly, to deter reoffending. Then it is necessary for us to think about the motives of most criminals and analyse why it is hard for released prisoners to readjust to a normal life. One of the principal reasons is, I believe, the lack of life chances. By that I mean, they have almost no chance of education, medical care and employment, so they can barely make ends meet and survive. Thus, dealing with the issue of how to help these people is at the core of coping with crime related problems. In this case, the government should try harder to enhance sopial welfare systems so as to offer basic life standards to its people and work out some solutions, or build up a system to help those misguided people get back on the right track.
In the end, I believe that the purpose of any punishment is not punishment itself but to prevent potential crimes and further, everyone deserves another chance and some help from the government to face up to life again. Education, medical care and job training would be more effective in achieving this end than prison, at least to most of the criminals.
