It is hard enough for victims to come forward about a crime without it being discovered behind their back. Victims are once again, entitled the right to be heard. This right to be heard can be in the court room or even to help improve the Criminal Justice System.…

One purpose served by the criminal law is to ensure that those who act wrongly receive the pain which is their just desert (Johnston and Ward 2010, 8). This simply put means that the community expectations of the criminal justice system is to see a wrongdoer reprimanded for his or her crime. The Elizabethan era is a prime example of this, as punishment for crime was often a public…

The criminal justice system is supposed to treat all the people seeking justice with equality and fairness irrespective of their race or their economic status. Every person has a right to be given fair treatment and fair judgment since he or she has all the rights to belong to a country or region.

I want to clarify when I say the Canadian criminal justice system ‘punishes’ rather than helps the mentally ill I do not wholly mean directly punishes the mentally ill. I am going to talk about how lack of resources and proposed solutions indirectly punishes the mentally ill. When a mentally ill person gets involved with the criminal justice system there is some expectation that the criminal justice system will have ideas and resources on how to approach a situation with a mentally ill person.…

More recently, in today's history, it seems as if our criminal justice system is full of racial discrimination and prejudices. Despite some of the evidence presented by researchers on this topic, I do not fully agree that this type of racism exists in our justice system. The majority of our criminal demographics is full of black crimes, but I do not believe this is because of any unjust treatment or negligence. I believe our african-american community is more likely to be arrested and charged…
