Örnek Task 2 Paragrafı
While some argue that harsh sentencing deters crime, the evidence suggests otherwise. Countries with high rates of imprisonment often suffer persistent recidivism, suggesting that incarcerating offenders without addressing the root causes of crime—such as poverty, unemployment, and inadequate education—is largely ineffective. A more progressive penal system would prioritise rehabilitation and restorative justice, equipping offenders with the skills and mindset needed to reintegrate into society.Vurgulanan kelimeler: harsh sentencing, deter, recidivism, root causes of crime, rehabilitation, restorative justice — bunlar Band 7+ essay'inin temel bileşenleri.
