I think with education, crime can be reduced because students are more informed about society. If students stay in school,
then they'll have goals and dreams to pursue after school rather than just wrecking havoc on society.

If we're talking about percentages here, I'd say in my town at least 45% because that's where people meet those who are in gangs and those who are bad influences. Gangs rule the schools here and people want to be "popular" or just be a part of things that look "in" and so they join. If the people who'd never committed any criminal acts never met gangs/criminals, maybe less people would be causing crimes around here because they've never come into contact with those that do.

The educational system needs to be improved in that they have to push more, rather than settle for the minimum. Rather than resorting to crime, students would feel more motivated to do more than they have been settling for. Personally I believe education has a huge impact on crime, since it is there in the beginning, and just as much influence a person when they are young. Of course there are a lot of factors, such as teachers, home life, community, etc. But I think improving the education would make a difference.

Education will have an impact if there are teachers who actually care enough to motivate their student to do good in school, in life, and in their future. On the other hand, if you get a teacher who doesn't care to stop fights that go on in their classroom, don't take the time to find out what's going on in their students' life, continue to exclude a student who is not participating, etc. Example? The book/movie Freedom Writers.

So I think education does have quite a significant impact on crime; whether or not a student is stopped in their tracks or will continue to go on the same path.

A good education can eventually impact crime. If one gets a good education, it is more likely that one will get a higher paying job. With a high-paying job, one doesn't have to resort to crime in order to live. Needs to rob stores, sell drugs, engage in prostitution, and so forth won't be needed as it may by those who cannot obtain a well-paying job. In these circumstances, one can raise a family in a good environment, which will have a positive influence on the new generation.

As for education impacting young criminals personally, I am skeptical. Some teachers might be able to positively influence their students to turn away from crime, but I have not seen that enough in real life to believe that it could happen frequently enough to impact crime as a whole. What good education can do is teach self-discipline and other ethics that are required to be successful.

I guess its not exactly education. its more like how motivated and willing the student is and what their personality is.
Even though the kid may be real smart and successful, he can still commit crimes because he feels restricted in his environment.
But then again, other factors that promote education such as programs and teachers may motivate the students into succeeding and going to the right path.
It really depends on how lucky the student is.

Education certainly affects the impact of a crime. We learn in school of course academics but we also learn morals too. If the education system in a school is not good, many students would just not bother going at all and may do bad things with other they're with. These kids are certainly not ready for what's out there ahead of them, probably because of our education system. The world is so different than before, kids finds new ways to skip school, cheat on tests, and etc.

7. (OPEN ENDED QUESTION) How much of an impact do you think education have on crime? Please explain.

Education has a major impact on the crime entity. Essentially, I feel that the more education a person has, the less likely they are to commit a crime. Why? Because they blatantly have more morals and values and principles that they go by. More importantly, they understand the consequences. They have the understanding that, by them committing a crime and risking the possibility of getting caught, the results not only affect their lives, but the lives of those around them.
However, I do also feel that experience is necessary for a person to learn. Basically, if they've never gone through the "getting caught" experience, they're more prone to such acts because they're oblivious and unafraid of what could potentially happen to them.
In short, education plays a major role in informing the students of whether or not the risks outweigh the rewards; unfortunately, our education system hardly does so.

I think receiving a good education can prevent some people from going astray and making bad decisions, but I don't think it makes a very significant difference.

I believe education is the cornerstone in preventing crime. While others may argue that a bad community, bad enviornment, or poverty is the case, education can (in time) rid those things. It's basic economics. People steal (which makes up a huge chunk of crimes) because it's the most economically advantageous for them in the short-term. Bad communities are made because of these crimes which results in the bad enviornments.

So we need to invest in inner city schools, but all schools in general. We must give out government grants to programs that encourage talented teachers like TeachUSA to teach in inner city schools. At a local level we must build a sound merit pay system for teachers to further encourage them to teach well in inner-city schools, and to keep them motivated while teaching in inner-city schools.

At a state level, we must give more aid to schools to be able to promote extra curricular activities in order to reduce the most vulnerable from becoming enticed into a criminal lifestyle. We must make the school a haven for safety.

7. (OPEN ENDED QUESTION) How much of an impact do you think education has on crime? Please explain.
Note: Please answer this question thoroughly and with the right grammar, etc. Remember that this is for a report!
Education works both ways.

If you have a good education, there's something to separate you and crime.

But if in fact you do choose to commit crime, education will help you get away with whatever you're trying to get away with.

Education doesn't necessarily give you a good moral compass. It can either give you a good reason to stay away from crime, or help you with get away with it.

I would say that education has a huge impact on crime, whether it is a good or bad thing. Going to school and achieving your goals keep you occupied, knowing that you will somewhat be successful in life, because after all, this is one of life's main purposes. But this world has changed over the years. Allow it be science, or art or even literature and the outgrowing number of population. Stress as well as other things that come along with certain education levels, new goals in life and life, itself! This all can lead to misfortunes such as crime.

I don't think education has much of an impact on crime. But I do think that if people have a really good education, then they are less prone to committing crimes. However, that can be said for everyone because there are some people who have good educations and they still commit crimes for other reasons. Therefore, I do not think education has a huge impact on crimes, but it does have a very minimal effect. I think the main factor lies in relationships with other people.

I believe education has somewhat of an impact on crime. There are many other factors that impacts on it much more. People with higher education would probably cause less crimes, because they put time and effort for that education and wouldn't want to ruin it. But it doesn't mean they won't be criminals, some may like the adrenaline involved. People with less education would have higher chances to being surrounded by a crowd that promotes criminal activities and be pressured into it. The biggest factor I think is the people surrounding the person, not education, although it may have some impact.
