Crime and Justice Policy

Crime and justice policy refers to the rules and strategies that governments create to prevent crime, respond to criminal behavior, and ensure fair treatment within the legal system. This includes law enforcement practices, court procedures, and correctional systems like prisons and rehabilitation programs. These policies aim to protect public safety, support victims, hold offenders accountable, and promote rehabilitation while balancing individual rights and social justice. Effective crime and justice policies consider the causes of crime, the impact of crime on communities, and the importance of equitable access to justice for all citizens.
