Introduction
The criminal justice system is the part of the government which is
responsible for ensuring that a country has social order , to prevent
criminal activity , to enforce the laws of the land , as well as to ensure
that every citizen receives justice due (Pollock , 1994 . The criminal
justice system is comprised by different professions such as the police
who are involved in making of arrests , prosecution and investigation of
crime . The courts are an important part of the criminal justice and
constitute of juries who pass judgements and deliver judgements by
correctly interpreting the relevant laws . The courts also determine the
magnitude of an offence and determine the applicable punishment .
The functions mentioned above point to the great roles the criminal
justice officials ' play . It is due to the importance of their duties to
the nation that the officials serving in the criminal justice system are
required to observe ethics in the execution of their duties as indicated
in the criminal justice code of ethics . Ethics are a set of rules and
standards which spell the dos and don 'ts in a given profession (Crank ,
2000 . These are important in reigning on errant professionals who if
not controlled can act unprofessionally . The greatest ethical problem
currently facing the criminal justice is corruption . Although corruption
in the criminal justice in America is not very rampant , the incidences
tend to be more common in some sections of criminal justice than others .
For example , lawyers and the police force have been found to be the most
corrupt in the criminal justice (Boutellier , 2000 . However , drawing
comparisons on who is more corrupt in the criminal justice is not easy .
This is because , while for the police and prosecutors may face
allegations of bribery , juries are more likely to be faced with
allegations of unfairness , usually based on factors such as impartiality
based on factors such as racial background .
The Criminal Justice system is one of the most important departments in
the US . All over the world , the society has always looked up to the
Justice System for arbitration , for direction and for interpretation of
abstract matters which the community is unable to solve . If well
managed , the Justice System can unite the society in that every single
member of the community looks up to the Justice System for truth , for
liberty , for guidance , for assistance and for compensation when one has
been offended . The Justice System which intervenes in disputes and cases
putting members of the society against one another and /or entities in
the society such as businesses is also very central to the functioning
of the other arms of the government such as the executive and the
legislature .
Therefore , for the people to have faith in the Justice System , the
dignity , autonomy and independence of the Justice System must be
guaranteed . Although there are other problems and challenges facing the
criminal justice system such as slow pace of criminal procedures...
