Why education, not punishment, is the solution to reducing crime | John Lonergan | TEDxDublin

[@kieranjoy2177]

The man shows vision and hope thinks outside the box quite literally, if only more of the people in power in Ireland held the same views as him the country would be the better for it

[@chrisogonas]

[@skinnymcdibbens9698]

[@mcglubski]

"It's far more important to prevent people from being victims"... well said Irish guy who will never read this comment

[@JohnSmith-hs1hn]

That education starts and is more reinforced by the culture and the parents. Theres only so much the feds can do.

[@sophieputland4627]

Such beautiful words

[@holierthan]

01:53: we see you. You don't see us.

[@nikkijubilant]

Let's educate the university professors and experts about the poor distribution of resources. All the "status quo " education only perpetuates the low wages, exploitation of most workers, etc etc.

[@DermotFinn]

What a legend.

[@DanneyTanner]

This is true story..

[@gerardomoncada5222]

Only education can save Ken Doll from a life of sanctioned criminality. And only education.

[@johnfalconer5778]

What a good man!

[@BarnibusMaximusMusic]

very well said

[@amydavidson4805]

The mind is a terrible thing to lose . There's power in the library system ! What would the world be like if we invested as much time and funding in public education ?

[@alexamaezebua9603]

you are talking so fast sir. I needed to use the transcript in order to understand and follow what you are saying.. But other than that I consider it as one of my favorite topic since our country do not really care about the lives of those in the prison.

[@johnreynolds1232]

Hope.

[@edward8062]

The problem is the government needs us uneducated

[@MrFerny7389]

[@tinykitchen1016]

He speak fast because he have only few minutes to speak😁 , ✌, yeah he speak so fast but clear.

[@johndoyle1810]

I think that the harder you try to reform the more your chastised and shoved down to fail in the system of life I’m a classic example of ridicule

[@ololadeakinrinade2969]

He's talking too fast. lool

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

i know i cant keep up. hes saying so much interesting stuff i have to pause and think about

[@katiegallagher9646]

That’s the way we (the Irish) talk. We have a lot to say so try to keep up 😁

[@universalsoldier811]

@@katiegallagher9646 you are beautiful 😊♥️

[@martinpowell5159]

Turn on the closed captions.

[@aleksandarzivkovic4339]

You must punish for examle in education

[@ChrisWonder2]

What about the monsters that only live to cause suffering

[@edgarnersisyan4876]

This man speaks very quickly😂

[@johnfalconer5778]

Slow the speed down then?

[@martinpowell5159]

Try turning on the Closed Captions.

[@UrbanSipfly]

Slow down man...Slooooooooooooooooooooow it down! As far as I am concerned, EDUCATION has no direct co-relation to crime reduction. If that were the case, a lot of college educated people would be outstanding citizens around the globe. More than what's reported!

[@Someone-dv8uj]

You might be taking him too literally. I know the areas to which he is referring. Crime is more prevalent in socially deprived areas, and further or 3rd level education is hardly ever considered. He is not saying that the more socially advanced neighbourhoods are crime less. They are far less likely to be found breaking into the cars or the houses of their neighbours. EDUCATION is a key, that can open up many more doors for people. I have seen this here and in the USA. It is incorrect to believe that those with an EDUCATION, become saints. They can and have been responsible for crimes that have brought down companies, whole banking systems, and in some cases, whole economies.

[@jari7957]

You are wrong, education is strongly correlated to crime reduction. There are various academic papers that show this, and if you can understand it I recommend you to read the paper "The crime reducing effect of education" written by Machin, Marie and Vujic in the Economic Journal. It might change your view.

[@genesis11am]

Agree he should slow down but if you're so smart why don't you go on there & speak?

[@iwannapunchabutterfly6441]

hes not only talking about the school education but the education of rights and wrongs and the moral concepts of things you learn growing up

[@Sanela1]

This guy in the video has a lot to learn from Robert D. Hare !!!

[@MidnightRambler]

Hmmm say that after a home invasion

[@ivanrodriguez268]

this has NOT worked at all... crime is higher than ever at places where they have this idea. Please stop it. We need to get tougher on crime.

[@genesis11am]

Studies show otherwise

[@durkdiggler4346]

Research says education helps, there's no question of it.
