2. Can reform. 2. Prisons are too nice, not punishment enough.

3. Punishment. 3. For certain crimes, punishment doesn’t seem enough.

4. Become better people. 4. Doesn’t deter criminals.

C.I think that prison is the best way to deal with criminals. Prisons keep criminals away from other societies to that they cannot commit further crimes. I disagree! Criminals in prison are kept away from innocent people, sure, but they are also kept near other criminals. These criminals create gangs, and are often bad

influences for other prisoners.. . .

D.We talked about whether it is ever OK to break the law. One team thought that it was never OK, and that the law is there to protect us, so we shouldn’t break it. My team said that a starving person deserves to eat, so people should be forgiven if they steal food.

She also thinks convicted criminals should be allowed to vote. She doesn’t think that police officer are an effective way of preventing crime, however, and she thinks that young people should be punished differently from adults. . . .

C.I don’t think every criminal is a bad person, because people break the law for many reasons. It is not fair to lump everyone together in the ‘criminal’ category. A murderer is not the same as someone struggling with money, who lied on his tax reports. Not that I’m saying that creaking the law is OK! That is another question . . .

C.I think these young people might be bored. They need things to do in the evenings. Many countries don’t have a lot of activities for the younger members of society. These people find that the only way for them to break from this boredom is by breaking the law. It is also a matter of respect.. . .

D.Crime is a big problem, and there is no simple answer. Our group thinks that there are many factors that cause crime, and therefore many things that need to be addressed. A lot of people don’t have any respect for the police, or for the law. They feel that these people are trying to arrest them for no reason. Maybe if they spent a day as a police officer they would see what it’s like!. . .

C.I’m like Juliet. I’m not sure what I want to do in the future! I have just finished my studies and I have a part-time job. I don’t like to plan too much, as I don’t feel like things ever go to plan. I’d much rather be surprised with how my life turns out than disappointed.
