Many criminals commit further crimes as soon as they released from prison.
What do you think are the causes of this?
What possible solutions can you suggest?
Statistically a person who has been once convicted has a 57 percent chance to be arrested again within five years after being released. Below some reasons and solutions of the issue will be discussed in details.
To begin with, those who used to be inmates have a hard time to find a job, moreover, not having opportunity to earn money and sustain themselves has a deteriorating effect on former prisoners. Consequently, many of them might be considering committing a crime to get some cash. Furthermore, if we take a closer look at the described situation, the second cause of the problem will become noticeable – negative social attitude. In average, law-abiding citizens are suspicious and even afraid of the yesterday’s inmates. This attitude probably makes the ex-inmates to feel abandoned and ousted by society. Thus, they are pushed by the situation to commit a crime.
However, causes that were discussed above might be successfully addressed. Firstly, creating new government backed social programs that are aimed to help the released individuals to find a job could have a dramatic positive effect on the number crimes committed by the released from jail. To illustrate, a former criminal who has been employed and is able to make enough money to support himself need not look for illegal ways to earn some cash.
The last but not the lease point is that attitude to ex-inmates has to be changed in the society. Contemporary society has a plethora of biases and prejudices about those who were convicted. Those biases should be addressed. Probably, raising awareness about challenges that are faced every day by those who want to change their lives after being punished and served their terms may bring some positive results. In other words, there is a need to accept and include those who are willing to change into society.
To sum up, statistics states that many of those who were released out of jail would commit new crimes because they have no legal way to make money and are ousted by others. However, if government makes steps to help those people to find jobs, it will have an enormous positive impact on the statistics and fewer ex-inmates will violate the law again.

Hello,
Hello,
I am writing because I hope that you can give some piece of advice about my writing. I have written several essays and I think that my problems may be noticed by you. May you point out my weak spots? And what should I improve to get a higher score?
I also would like to know how to analyze the data from e-reader. Supposedly by looking at those charts and percentages I ought to understand how to improve my writing but often it writes almost all "ok" and gives me 6,5.
Thank you.
Eugene.
For Q1: your weak points are
For Q1: your weak points are two:
1. Not exactly right on the point. Like today's two essays you sent.
2. 'redundancy'. Means it is not developed efficiently. IELTS examiners actually want very simplified but well developed sentences. While sometimes it is not really in some of your essays.
Take this essay as an example:
http://www.testbig.com/ielts-writing-task-ii-ielts-general-training-ess…
the flaw is:
No. of Words: 362 while No. of Different Words: 178
we asked users developing more content, but in the mean time, the unique words should be more too. If not, the marks will be pretty low in actual exam. Minimum 200 unique words wanted, this is what we want:
No. of Words: 350 while No. of Different Words: 200 to get 8.0 or more.
The solution to get a higher mark: we may suggest you only write 4 paragraphs. like this:
paragraph1: introduction
paragraph 2: idea A, first, ....second...
paragraph 3: On the other hand, idea B. first,... second...
paragraph 4: in my opinion...
4 paragraphs may prevent your 'redundancy' issues.
--------------------
For Q2:
The e-grade will give penalties to all warning message it gives, like:
Unique words: 119.0 127.690721649 93% => More unique words wanted.
difficult_words: 31.0 41.2886597938 75% => More difficult words wanted.
...
the first number is the data from essays, while the second number is the average number from all users, once the user data is too high or too low, some scores will be removed.
sometimes, there are no serious warning messages but still with a low mark, it means the essay is not outstanding.
and From the feedback of our users, IELTS examiners consider this one as the most important feature:
Unique words percentage
so we have to develop sentences very efficiently.
