Crime is a problem all over the world. Some believe that crime prevention will make no difference, others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
A lobby of criminologists believes that unlawful undertakings have escalated even after the introduction of umpteen measures to mitigate these, while others express optimism. The following paragraphs shall discuss both the sides and share a plausible conclusion.
To begin with, a school of thought expresses its firm belief in the saying, “Once a criminal, always a criminal”. As per this section, those engaged in deviant ways cannot survive without doing something notorious and always find a way to bypass the modern security systems created for the safety of the public. Also, there are a plethora of factors like joblessness, class differences and poverty that force many to perform unlawful acts to fulfill their basic needs. Similarly nowadays, shrinking incomes, and increasing demands and desires, is pushing an increasing number of individuals to take laws in their hand for the sake of making more money. Moreover, some attempt deviant acts in front of their peers to flaunt their courage and strength. Thus, as they assert that no measure can dissuade illegal endeavors.
However, some are enthusiastic about the effectiveness of methods formulated to deter instances of law breaking. They suggest that punishment acts as a potent tool that makes even hardened lawbreakers to give a second thought because they fear consequences like heavy fines, imprisonment and being kept away from their families, or being handed over capital punishment. Adding to this, some believe reformation can give them a chance to develop new skills, affording them a chance of earning livelihood safely and preventing their intervention in any kind of criminal endeavors.
Overall, I align with the notion that even though eliminating criminal undertakings is a distant dream, efforts must continue to alleviate these so that the social environment can be made safer and free of fear.
