One of the main goals should be that the criminal justice system of all countries of the world should deliver justice for all which is known as due process whereby the criminally convicted are punished which stands for ‘just deserts’ theory of punishment and the convicted are supported by the criminal justice system (like restorative justice and prisons) to stop future crime and to lead a law-abiding life style after serving their sentence.
One of the other goal of the criminal justice system at this century is to help victims of crime and protect the innocent people and vulnerable (example of it is children).
The criminal justice system is also responsible for detecting crime and bringing it to justice which implements by police force. The purpose of the courts is to collecting fines and to sentence without any prejudice. The Probation system’s main purpose and objectives lie in the supervision of community sentences, presenting the courts with Pre-Sentence Reports and bringing back to court those who breach their community sentence which might resulting in custodial punishment.
The criminal justice system today is represented by voluntary organisations and private contractors.
