Crime & Punishment

The best ways to reduce crime is education. So, I'll describe about three kinds of education.


Academic education

Some research reveals that the lower academic background is, the higher a crime rate is. It's matter not which university you graduated from, but a highest academic qualification is junior high school. So, I think that parents and government should give children education after junior high school. This makes children grow up intellectually and mentally.

Job training

Unemployment causes crime because the unemployed want to get money quickly. People who have specialized skills or high academic background will get new job quickly. However, people have neither won't. So that they can get new job quickly and not commit a crime, they should be given job training.

Moral education

The young commit the crime easily even if they get good education. It's because some children think crime as entertainment. They often say "No problem if only once", however they can't stop crime and it escalates more and more. Especially, using drugs once also influence health. So, through moral education of school, students should learn how danger committing crime is. It's effective to teach them real story, for example story criminals actually talk.

    I agree with the idea that some children think crime as entertainment. I think some games which include killing scene affect their thoughts of crime badly.

      That's what I was thinking. It's hard to say that some subculture such as some game, drama, manga really don't influence some criminals.

    I think your 3 ideas are pretty realistic, and practical. I thought of giving them minimum wages, but I never thought of giving them opportunity to do actual jobs training, so I think it is very effective.
    I think inviting real criminals to talk about their own stories is a very good idea.

      I think that talking about own stories is good for not only students, but also criminals. It's because they can reflect.

    I agree with you that providing opportunities for education and training can help people find employment and once they have a job they are less likely to get involved in crime. But then as you mention there are those who commit crimes for 'the thrill of it.' Regarding these folk, yes, moral education is required. As I discuss in my post, I think parents, schools, religious, cultural and sporting bodies can all play a role in providing such guidance.

      It's important to make students find the way to release their stresses and enjoy their life in order not to commit crimes.

The future: My predictions

 　　　　　　　　　The future of Japan   My first prediction about Japan is that a lot of people will be living in rural areas compared to now, because of the COVID-19’s spread, people are feeling unsafe, or unconfutable living in bustling cities especially for their children. I saw an article saying that some families are moving to rural areas to live a life they could not do in cities. They grow enough vegetables, or spend more time with their children. I think this change is a positive thing because major cities are overpopulated, so if more people move to rural areas, areas can be developed, and get more attention from tourists.    My second prediction is that about 50% of the population will be people from other countries. Before the pandemic happened, it was normal for me to see different types of people shopping or living next door. I think it is a good change because we might be able to absorb many interesting cultural things from them, and they can learn about Japanese culture by l

The best way to reduce crime

 I think the best way to reduce crime in the community is maintaining the public order. I am going to show three points to approach the problem. First, the police should strengthen the control more strictly. If the police can see the deep town or everywhere in cities, people don't tend to commit some crimes. And I think it's good idea to give them more heavy punishment. We can also rely on the development of technology. For example, we can set security camera or something in the place where crimes are often done. Second, I think we can reduce crime by education. Teachers can tell children how crime makes their life bad and how crime is not forgiven. Not only teachers but also parents can teach them to their children at home.  The last one is that the city office supports unstable people. For example, they can set counseling offices where people who have some problems in their family can visit. Sometimes, the city officers need to visit their houses as observers. And the governm

A Turning Point

Image
   My turning point was when I chose my high school at 15 age. When all students decided which school to take, I had not decided that yet. This was because I had two options then.   The first one was to go to the high school all my friends were supposed to go, which was not a preparatory school. The second one was to go to a preparatory school in the next city. My teacher and parents told me to choose the second option. However, I didn’t want to do that because I didn’t want to say goodbye to my friends. lol   I was understanding it was my selfishness, so I decided to take the second option. It was hard choice for me because it was needed my tough study to pass the entrance exam. And I don’t regret this decision. Luckily, I could pass the exam and make new friends there. Moreover, I was able to study very hard , influenced by friends around me. That’s why I can take this online classes now! If I had chosen the first option, I would not have been interested in English and study abroad.
