Criminal Justice

Criminal Justice refers to the system of practices and institutions involved in upholding social control, deterring and mitigating crime, and sanctioning those who violate laws. It encompasses various components, including law enforcement agencies, legal courts, and correctional facilities. The criminal justice system aims to deliver justice for victims, maintain public safety, and rehabilitate offenders. It operates through a defined process involving the investigation of crimes, the prosecution of alleged offenders, and the adjudication of cases in courts, followed by appropriate sentencing and rehabilitation efforts. The field also addresses issues related to crime prevention, the rights of individuals, and the ethical implications of laws and punishments.
