　　A类大作文

　　【作文题目】It is shown that many criminals have a low level of education. Some people argue that the best way to reduce crime is to educate criminals in prison to help them find jobs when they leave prison. Do you agree or disagree?

　　【题目分析】agree or disagree 观点题。 犯罪率话题本年度一共考察了两次，分别在7月28日和3月3日，算上这一次是第三次。该题联系教育和犯罪的进行考察，并且关于帮助找工作，属于限定范围较小的话题。

　　【题材类别】犯罪类

　　【参考范文】It is generally acknowledged that education plays an indispensable role in forming the moral standard of a person. While some people assert that crime rate would definitely be reduced as long as criminals were educated, I do not agree that it is the best solution to mitigate related risks.

　　Undoubtedly, it is a great opportunity for those prisoners to participate in job related programs. For one thing, unemployment is one of the main reasons why people commit crimes. In poverty-stricken areas, crime rate is relatively higher because rarely can people afford education. As a consequence, without job-related skills, one is likely to violate the law such as comitting a robbery or shoplifting, For another, after long-term imprisonment, an ex-prisoner can hardly engage in productive social life as they might gradually lose the ability, or being discriminated in the workplace due to criminal record. Therefore, education associated with skills is beneficial for these criminals to earn a living.

　　In spite of above arguments, I would argue that education on jobs is not the optimal way in discouraging people from breaking the law. In fact, it is commonly seen that prisoners are encouraged to do affirmative work such as volunteering, which helps to improve moral standard and thus greatly decrease the potential of offences. Apart from first offenders, recidivists who continuously pose a threat to public safety should be given harsher punishments in order to exert a deterrent effect, such as life imprisonment. Other measures would be for the government to reinforce the police force and increase patrol, or publicize the significance of law abidance.

　　In conclusion, albeit job training is a conducive way to decrease the crime rate, I would suggest that other options should also be taken into account.
