Crime and Punishment

          Last year  I had one of my neighbor stole everything valuable in his house such as electrical appliances and gold in a long holiday at night.  Because nobody was in my neighbor house.  My neighbor and his family enjoyed in Egypt.  Someone saw the offenders and he called the police.  When the police came ,they didn't find many things.  When my neighbor heard that he came back to Saudi Arabia by airplane. He was angry and confus. After two months the  police caught the offenders.  However,  the offenders sent to jail after the judge said his statement. When the victim heard the police catch the offenders he was happy ,but the police couldn't found everything he lost. I think the justice stood with him.
        
         In my opinion, I think in recent years, crime has increased day by day.  People start to be more violent.  I think we need to create a new solution like RJ (Restorative Justice). This will help our lives. For example, some people did something wrong and bad , but not worse.  They shouldn't go to jail.  Therefore, this RJ is better solution for these people than prisons because they did something bad and they shouldn't go to the jail with dangerous offenders who did something really bad such as murder, robber or counterfeiting. In my country, we have something similar to RJ. For example, someone who borrows some money from his friend and he needs to return the money back, but he doesn't have it. Therefore, they go to court and they tell the story to the judge. It is impossible and unfair to put someone who borrowed some money in jail, but a good solution is RJ.  It gives the two sides a chance to think about a good solution. Maybe he will to pay for his friend or he will give money back with interest.  By RJ they will reach to a good way to solve their problem together.  In conclusion, I hope that people understand this system RJ and apply it to their life to help their community.
