Thesis Statement
Criminal justice refers to the system many practices and government institutions that is directed at upholding deterring, social control and crime mitigation. It also punishes the law breakers with rehabilitation efforts and penalties. The people who are accused of crime usually have protection rights which are against abuse of prosecution and investigatory power. Criminal justice systems are not the same around the world. This is because countries and states in the world have different laws and orders. For instance, in the United States of America, when one is charged with a crime, they are normally given their rights. There are also other countries that when there are no trials when one is charged with a crime and this means that they are immediately sentenced without given any rights. The criminal justice system in the United States of America was taken from the British Criminal Justice System.
