Select one of the components of the criminal justice system (law enforcement, courts, or corrections).

Write a 1,400- to 1750-word paper in which you evaluate past, present, and future trends of the criminal justice component you select. Discuss the budgetary and managerial impact that future trends will likely have not only on the component you select, but also on the other components of the criminal justice system. Be sure to include current research data (qualitative and quantitative) in your analysis.

Include at least four peer reviewed references.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
