Education_To_Lower_Crime_Rate

Education To Lower Crime Rate Why do we go to college' We go to get a better education. This leads to a better job, which leads to more money. This is the equation everyone uses and lives by in the world today. The real question that must be answered is can higher education lead to a lower crime rate. We would hope so for many reasons. The way I see it education is a deterrent. It gives people the opportunity to not need to fall into criminal activity. First, if one has a higher education, the less likely one is to have to commit crimes. People usually commit crimes because of need for money for different reasons. Most people in college or with a college degree do not have that need. If they have obtained their education, most likely they have a job. This job gives them money to life off and they do not need to rob houses, liquor stores, or gas stations. Most burglaries of homes are to steal items such as jewelry, televisions, or stereos so that the criminal can sell the items in a pawn shop or on the street education, crimes, people, need, college, money, commit, one, job, go, gangs, school, prison, percent, leads, kids, finish, family, crime, person, out, likely, life, less, families, even, deterrent, criminal, better, because, working, willing, time, street, sense
