Examiner: How can crime be prevented?

Student: Crime prevention must start from education. If people are not raised well, then they might commit crimes in the future. It’s the responsibility of both parents and schools to educate children in the difference between right and wrong. This could be done in special ethics classes in schools, and perhaps parenting classes might be a good idea for parents who are unsure of how to raise children with more moral values. These classes shouldn’t be compulsory though as this might be too expensive and unnecessary. However, although all parents might not go, it could be useful for those who are struggling. More information could help these parents.
