The criminal justice system and punishment usually coincide. For every crime that has been committed, there should be a punishment to follow. While punishment of crime is, for all intents and purposes, qualitatively milder than it was only a few hundred years ago, the latter half of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century has seen the introduction of increasingly harsh criminal justice policies in countries such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom (Cote-Lussier, 2016). The punishment can depend unfortunately on what part of the country an individual may live in. Much less consistency exists among rules of substantive criminal law adopted by the states and the federal government (Brody and Acker, 2010).
