A person who has committed a crime loses his/her right to be treated as an equal member of society
In our society there is a lot of people who have an opinion, that a person who has committed a crime loses his/her right to be treated as an equal member of society. Life of these people become more complicated than life of people, who hasn´t been punished . There are many issues and problems that come up and bring among some difficulties.
First of all, there is prejudice, that a person who has committed a crime will do it again and they are not trustful, therefore they are treated with caution. You have to earn a person´s trust to be in a good relation with him/her and it is hard if you know about someone ´s past with criminal aspects. It is easier to be in a relation with people with good past and we often choose people with same views on life beside us. However , I think it is not always true, that a person who has committed a crime, doesn’t have accurate posture, because there can be many different reasons why a crime was committed and what kind of reasons did it have.
Second, another area, where we can find inequality, is at work . When looking for a job, first of all, people without criminal past are chosen first. Employers tend to choose their employees regarding to the past, because they are careful about a person they choose to work with. You should be able to trust a person, to rely on him/her and who can value honesty and work ethics. Quite frequently people who committed a crime aren ’t even given a chance to prove , can they can also be valuable employees.
In conclusion , it is hard to be treated as equal, if you have committed a crime. It is a formed standard, which doesn’t seem to change much during the years . A person just has to contribute hard at work and with people to earn his/her position in the society. It is not pleasant, but still there is always a chance for everyone.
