You will start working on a portion of your capstone portfolio in this first week. Consider what you have learned about the criminal justice system throughout your degree program.

Name, define and discuss the roles of the three main components of the criminal justice system. Choose the component you think is the most effective and discuss why. Then, choose the component you feel is the least effective and needs to be changed. Discuss the specific changes you would make to the chosen component and why these changes would make it more effective if implemented.

Your response should be 1-2 pages in APA format.
