　　How to handle criminals is a problem that all countries and societies face. Traditionally, the approach has been to punish them by placing them in prisons to pay for what they have done. Some, however, advocate for trying to make them better with training and education and it seems they may have a good point.

　　First of all, consider all the money that we have to spend to lock people up in jail. It doesnt seem like a good use of public money if the people dont actually get any better. Because most criminals eventually are let out of prison, our focus should be on making them better citizens.

　　In fact, the reason why many people end up in jail in the first place is because they didnt have a good education or happy family. So if they can learn job skills they perhaps can find work and feel they can contribute in a positive way. If they do this, they wont need crime. Surly everyone deserves a second chance.

　　Of course this does not mean that we should be too lenient on criminals. Those who commit crime should still be punished, but during their punishment they should also be treated. If we make an investment in them and show compassion, most will be able to make a new start.

　　To summarize, we must make more of an effort to go to the root of the problem. We need to treat criminals as patients and give them the medicine they need: education and training. By giving people the skills for a second chance we can make our society safer and healthier.
