大学英语作文 Prevention or punishment,which is the better alternative in ensuring citizen safety?要求 200字.

答案

（不是原创）As far as I’m concerned,prevention is superior to punishment in ensuring citizen safety.After all,if crimes could be prevented successfully,no one would ever get hurt,and there is no necessary for punishment.Punishment is what takes place when prevention fails,and is therefore rendered useless when prevention succeeds.Thus,to ensure citizen safety,the best place to start is with prevention.Although prevention is much harder to implement than punishment,there are still many ways crime could be prevented.
For example,policing hot spots,areas of known criminal activity,will help to decrease the number of criminal events in those areas.Also,community policing efforts can be made to capture known criminals,and secondary prevention techniques can be put into use:focusing on at risk situations such as youth who’re dropping out of school or getting involved in gangs.All of these measures can reduce crime,and in the future,could possibly even prevent crime.In conclusion,prevention is the better alternative in ensuring citizen safety.
