Cause Solution Essay

Task:
Many offenders commit more crimes after serving their first punishment. Why is this
happening, and what measures can be taken to tackle this problem?
Model Essay:
Introduction:
A large number of criminals who serve their first prison sentence, leave prison only to
reoffend. This is mainly because of the lack of rehabilitation and difficulty finding regular
employment once released. There are a number of solutions which should be implemented
to deal with criminals who reoffend.
Firstly, the reason for most first-time offenders committing crimes again, once they have
been released from prison, is due to the lack of rehabilitation whilst in prison. In other
words, offenders are not given a chance to retrain and learn new skills for their future or
develop a deeper understanding of correct moral behavior and instead mix with other
criminals, which only strengthens their criminal intentions. Secondly, repeat offending is
also owing to the difficulty in finding employment after being released. As a result, many of
them struggle financially which leads them back to crime, regardless of the consequences.
There are two effective solutions to the problem of repeat offenders. One way to tackle this
is to ensure that all criminals entering prison are given the chance to retrain with useful
skills which will hopefully ensure them a job after they have served their sentence. By doing
this, it will help them reintegrate back into society and give them some means of supporting
themselves financially. Another method of dealing with criminals who reoffend is to have
more supervision and checks in place when they are back in society. This solution would
hopefully prevent them from taking any chances and deter them from reoffending because
they are being so closely watched.
In conclusion, having training in prison and also close observation when first time offenders
are released are effective in dealing with the issue. If governments implemented these
solutions, crime figures would soon drop.
