新东方在线雅思为同学们整理了雅思大作文范文之教育能够有效预防犯罪，供考生参考学习。

雅思大作文题目：

In many countries, prison is the common solution to the problem of crime. However, another effective way is to provide people with better education so that they will not become criminals. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 

题目大意

在很多国家，犯了罪的人往往会被关进监狱来惩治。然而，另一个有效的方式是给人们提供更好的教育从而预防他们犯罪。是否同意？

思路解析

这是一道观点类大作文，讨论的教育是不是有效预防犯罪的方式。审题时需要注意两点，一是题目中讨论的是“will not become criminals”预防犯罪，要围绕这点展开，不要扯到惩罚犯罪等问题。二是观点中的逻辑关系“提供更好的教育能够有效预防犯罪”，下面来看下具体观点。

首先，导致犯罪的原因有很多。缺乏正确的的对错价值观、寻求刺激和性格缺陷、靠正常手段难以获得收入和生存、社会缺乏公平和贫富差距过大等等，都有可能导致犯罪

对照上面的原因来看，教育确实能有效减少犯罪行为，有两方面原因。

一是教育能够提升人们的知识和技能，这些有助于受教育者找到一份工作来保证稳定的收入，进而减少人们通过犯罪行为来获得财物的概率。二是教育能够教会人们正确的价值观，无论是通过学校还是家庭教育，让人们对于“对”和“错”有更清晰的认知，提前让人们知道犯罪的后果及将会受到的惩罚，可以降低人们犯罪的欲望。

但是，单靠教育没法完全预防犯罪行为的发生。比如社会公平和贫富差距问题，依靠教育并没有办法很好解决，而是需要制定更加完善的政策和法律，并由管理者来严格执行，才能够有效遏制这方面问题的发生，创造一个更好的生存环境，使得人们遵纪守法也能正常生活，而不需要采用违法手段达到目的。

高分范文示例

In criminology, examining why people commit the crime is very important in the ongoing debate of how crime should be handled and prevented.  It is admitted that better education could effectively help to lower the crime rate.  However, I believe in terms of seeking solutions in ultimately reducing types and levels of crime, broader perspectives need to be explored. 

It is true that part of these criminal acts is committed by people who fail to receive a proper education.  Normally, criminals are those who have problems in school including low grades, lack of attendance or disciplinary actions, such as suspension or expulsion.  In these cases, it is hard for them to be taught respect for authority and consideration for others or equipped with knowledge and techniques for a reasonable job.  As a result, they may easily come up with subconscious thought that compels them to impulsive reactions when angry or steal out of a sense of need when feeling hopeless about making a living.

Such as it is, however, criminality cannot be fully avoided.  According to research conducted regarding this, more factors namely, genes, environment, and society are involved in the criminality of individuals.  Poor diet, mental illness, bad brain chemistry and even evolutionary rewards for aggressive criminal conduct have been proposed as explanations for crime.  Also, people develop motivation to commit the crime and the skill to commit crime through the people they associate with and the environment they are surrounded by.  For instance, a neighbourhood that has fraying social structures featuring vacant and vandalized buildings and high unemployment, in particular, is more likely to have high crime rates. 

In conclusion, as there exist different backgrounds that mould people into criminal behaviour, offering better education can only take effect within a limited scale, and would not have the desired result.
