Thesis Statement
With the increasing number of
crimes
per day, gang groups are seeking younger members to commit their
crimes
. Teenagers are valuable since they are agile and
haven't
formed yet a moral and ethical compass, which individuals with strong beliefs may take advantage
.
By increasing a penalty for the youth, we prevent the cycle of
recrution
and educate children about the dangers of unfollowing laws.
For example, a child who sees his brother
imprisioned
will believe
brother
's
acomplishments
were wrong and
shouldn't
be
persued
.
Strictier rules
defines
a longer period for
felon
to rethink past actions, leading to a spiritual rebound with
help
of jail teachers and
psycologists
. Meanwhile, they learn how to contribute to society and explore self-grown without illegal activity. When their sentence is over, they start from fresh searching for jobs and a life partner, while not being dependent as is the cage of older
compratiots
.
However, defending severe punishment for immature criminals may lead to feelings of insecurity, fear and distrust of
police
or
goverment
, as they feel they were left to rot in prison. Not only that, but staying long
at
group cells may create trauma made from
undesireable
contact with mentally
illed
perpretators
.
It's
impossible to know who we will be sitting next to for the next years of our life, so making sure inmates have always health checks and meetings with families and friends is helpful to maintaining moral!
We
can't
stop
crime
from happening. But we can
devaluate
its value with stricter law
efforcement
and
heaftier
penalties
since
commiting
crime
is not worth their life. This can be done with the help of ads, family, school and more!
