[{"id":2411,"title":null,"advertisement_flag":false,"author_id":1,"content":"\n\u003cp\u003eHow to treat criminals, put them in jail or do something else, is a tough question for people. Some people think they deserve to suffer strict punishments such as depriving of their freedom because they need to pay for what they did. The rest think they should be treated in a better way as not all criminals are bad. As for me, I cannot agree more with the view that imprisonment plays a more effective role in rehabilitating them.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the question specified above there are two ways to treat criminals, the first one is to send them to prison while the other is something else different from that, which I regard as not imprisoning them. Hence, here comes the problem, how to guarantee people’s safety while the law breakers are still around them. They will probably commit more crimes again. In other words, imprisonment is a good method to prevent them from approach to other people and their properties.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom psychological aspects, people naturally cannot bear to stay in a small sealed room for long because it makes them uncomfortable. The conditions in a prison are one example of that. Therefore, a prison is a harsh environment for those people against laws. At the same time, it can be used to warn them so that they will never try to do anything illegally. Moreover, it also deters potential criminals from committing crimes. As a result, crime rates can be reduced and everybody can embrace a brighter future.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom children’s upbringing aspect, sending criminals to prison makes a pieceful social atmosphere wherein children can be nurtured better without having any distractions on unhealthy information caused by those criminals such as violence and pornography on TV or on Internet. The closer they get to bad information, the higher possibility it is for them to imitate those misdeeds. As a consequence, they may become potential criminals and will cause damages to the society.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeing strict to those criminals is necessary for government. Firstly, they should be isolated from the rest of the society in the interest of a brighter future. Alternatively, education and labor jobs could play a supplementary role in this aspect.\u003c/p\u003e\n","created_at":"2012-02-08T11:58:24.000Z","author_name":"maomao","tag_groups":[],"slug":null,"parent_id":2410,"visits":0,"likes":-1,"image":null},{"id":2412,"title":null,"advertisement_flag":false,"author_id":1,"content":"\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCritique\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e+TASK ACHIEVEMENT\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou were not able to achieve the task. You are supposed to give your opinion on imprisoning criminals and if you disagree, you should give your own thought on whatelse can be done instead of that. However, in the second paragraph, you were assuming imprisoning and not imprisoning which is not the case here.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e+LEXICAL RESOURCE\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVocabulary is sufficient but not wisely used.
