Criminal justice systems

The criminal justice system is the framework through which a society maintains order by enforcing laws, investigating crimes, and ensuring justice. It involves agencies like police, courts, and correctional facilities working together to identify offenders, determine guilt or innocence, and impose appropriate punishments. Its goals are to deter crime, uphold victims’ rights, and rehabilitate offenders. The system strives for fairness, balancing public safety with individual rights, and operates within legal procedures designed to ensure due process and impartiality.
