Criminal justice

I will be explaining how an offender is processed through each stage of the criminal justice system (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). Explain how an offender is processed through each stage of the criminal justice system. The criminal justice system has three components which are the police, courts, and corrections (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015).

Which means not charging a case that is not substantiated by probable cause. The prosecutor is an administrator of justice, an advocate for victims of…

They are just confused and misguided. Anybody who arrests a child and claims that they are not making an example out of them lie straight to our faces. Anyone who tries a child as an adult does not realize that the child is still a child. Our criminal law system only guides young juveniles down the wrong path to mental destruction. No matter what crime the child commits.…
