Crime and Punishment

Crime is a problem in many cities. Punishment is what happens when a person breaks the law. I remember a famous phrase: "Educate the child, and you will not have to punish the man." I don't remember exactly who said it, but I believe it is very true. That is why I admire people like Shakira, who created the Pies Descalzos Foundation to support the education of children in vulnerable communities. It is true that people who do something wrong deserve punishment. However, I believe we must work to stop crime from its root, and that happens with a well-cared childhood. Education is the best way to prevent crime and build a better future.
