 IELTS Academic Essay Answers - #6099
Question:
Some people think that all lawbreakers should be taken into prison. In contrast, others believe there are better alternatives (for example, doing work or learning skills in the community). Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Answer Hints:
First, you must give the reasons for both sides. 'All lawbreakers go to prison' is obviously a wrong point. You must notice when giving your opinion in the conclusion. It's hard to agree entirely. Although that, you still need to find some points to support the view.

All lawbreakers go to prison
  • Implement justice for victims by punishing lawbreakers
  • Warn lawbreakers seriously not to rechallenge laws.
  • Curb potential crime.
  • Keep society, victims, and innocent people peaceful and safe.
Alternatives like community work
  • Minor or non-violent lawbreakers may be applied by alternative measures such as fines or community service.
  • Non-prison helps lawbreakers get back to normal life after punishment more easily.
  • Detaining all lawbreakers can strain resources; non-prison ways save societal costs.
  • It's better to protect the human rights of lawbreakers, their families, and related people.

However, others think the purpose of the law isn't to imprison the criminals but to keep society justice...

I disagree with putting all lawbreakers in prison because the approach to dealing with them should be nuanced, considering the offense's severity and the broader societal impact...
