The three goals of the criminal justice system are preventing crime, controlling crime and doing justice. I define or think of crime prevention as the government’s intention on deterring crime, by having visible police presence in high crime areas, and preventing crime can also be described as work done by citizens that can include joining neighborhood watch programs and having alarms on their cars and homes. The ideology behind that is no one wants to break into a house or car that is alarmed, Controlling crime to me means again police presence in the community so that in the event a crime takes place they may react quickly, or deter the crime from happening as well as criminal penalties and prosecuting crimes to the full extend of the law
