The only thing I'd add is that some of the solutions run into an issue best explained with our prison system -
Is our system meant to rehabilitate, or punish?
Statistically, opportunities for higher education have helped keep ex-criminals from committing more crimes, but if you think punishment is the point then providing money and resources to convicted criminals seems unfair, especially when people who've never committed a crime struggle to pay for college.
I personally think the benefits to society as a whole are more important (less crime overall, yay! More people living up to their potential, yay!) but you have to address the attitudes/perceptions of the other side.
