The Criminal Justice System

The prospect of this criminal trial tends to focus on how the incident flows in the system, causing a chain reaction when an incident is transferred from one component to another component. For example, the behavior of the street police affected the work of the court, and the decision of the judge of the court affected the operation of the prison and the prison.

The police occupy a special position in the criminal justice system. Act of the executive officers of the law affects the function of the entire criminal justice system, and only affects the police and does not say the "gatekeeper" of the system: "In many cases, these people's condemnation perpetrator It is the first contact and what happens to make what the position of some very important decisions is to decide to make the most of the police ...... in the American criminal justice Journey of criminal suspected maze "(Alpert and Danham, 1997: 11)
