Essay Plan:

• Introduction: refer to the task question.  My own opinion – better education is the key to prevent crime, not imprisonment
• Paragraph 2: imprisonment is not the best way to prevent crime. Example: the USA.  Two reasons: (1) criminals often re-offend when they leave prison (2) criminals who mix with other offenders make contacts and become more expert criminals
• Paragraph 3:  need for education to prevent crime.  Example: the UK – (1) in schools – using former prisoners to warn pupils of the dangers (2) in prisons themselves – to help prisoners gain skills/qualifications to make a new start in life
• Conclusion: education is more effective than imprisonment in preventing crime
