The Negative Impact of Cutting Education Budgets on Crime Rates
Dear Sir,
I want to express my views to you on regard to the new education budget-cutting scheme. I think that cutting the budget on education is bad from a delinquency point of view.
Education is one of the most important investments that society can make in order to secure its future development. A well-educated population is more productive and innovative, and therefore contributes more to economic growth. Moreover, educated people are less likely to engage in criminal activities.
The evidence on the link between education and crime is clear. Studies have shown that every extra year of schooling reduces the likelihood of being involved in crime by around 10%. This means that if the budget for education is cut, we can expect an increase in crime rates.
There are a number of reasons why this is the case. Firstly, educational attainment is associated with better job prospects. This means that people who do not have a good education are more likely to turn to crime in order to make a living. Secondly, education provides people with the skills and knowledge that they need to be law-abiding citizens. Without these skills and knowledge, people are more likely to break the law.
It is also worth noting that the relationship between education and crime is strongest for young people. This is because it is during these years that people are most likely to engage in criminal activities. If we do not invest in the education of young people, we can expect an increase in crime in the future.
I would therefore urge you to reconsider the new budget-cutting scheme. Education is too important to be cut back on, and doing so would only lead to problems down the line.
Yours sincerely,

FAQ
The new education budget-cutting scheme is to reduce the number of teachers in each school.
This will affect students by increasing class sizes and reducing the amount of individual attention they receive from teachers. It will also affect teachers by causing them to lose their jobs.
The pros of this scheme are that it will save money for the government and reduce the overall cost of education. The cons are that it will have a negative impact on students' learning and increase inequality between schools.
It is unclear whether or not this is the best way to cut costs in education, as it could potentially have negative long-term consequences for students' learning outcomes.
