The Child Protection System and the Juvenile Justice system are interaction agencies in the Juvenile Justice Victim System. The systems mission is to protect children and render justice to the victim. The objectives of the two systems primarily concerns are physical abuse, sex abuse the mistreatment of the child, assault, neglect, and emotional maltreatment. The enormous amount of crime against children goes undetected due to lack of reporting to authorities. If there is substantiated evidence than the authorities will remove the child from the home and into protective custody, this is considered serious intervention; foster care services provide temporary safe home for children. The court system operates on the assumption that…

One person comes to mind when I think of a person who has come from a typically described as “good” family background. As a child of three my mother made sure my two brothers and I had everything we needed. My mom always taught my brothers and me that you cannot truly appreciate something unless you have worked for it. My family consist of educated, hard-working, honest people. My place of residence was in satisfactory condition. I barley seen any gangs, fights, or robberies. Growing up I couldn’t even imagine a place full of crime and mischief; and I thought the same for my brother.…

In the United States today, the average citizen is unaware of the corruption that goes on in our Criminal Justice System. Law enforcement and Police Officers are abusing their power. If this goes unnoticed it could grow larger and cause bigger problems in our country. The United States Criminal Justice System is one of the best in the whole world. In other countries there is little or no policing. Police officers in the US are well-trained and it is hard to reach their position without a strong education. A huge quality of a perfect Police Officer is a perfect control of temper because a quiet determined manner has more effect than violent action. But everyone isn’t perfect and there are Police Officers out there that abuse their power and create a dangerous environment for the people around them.…
Community policing is explained as a collaboration of community and the police working together to help identify and solve criminal activities. Additionally, the whole concept behind it is to promote public safety and to enhance the quality of life within the neighborhoods in which we reside in. Community policing is composed of two major components which are community partnership and problem solving. Community policing is a program that was initially started in the 1940’s. All of the support that was released for this program was materialized actually in the 1980’s. One of the main goals if not the most important goal was to bring in the law enforcement closer to their local public to help better establish relationships and partnerships. They would build these relationships and partnerships with local businesses, group organizations, local residents and social service agencies. The whole reason behind building these relationships was to help each other in the long run of having a better understanding of what was actually needed by the community and to address local problems. (Community Justice, pg. 26-7) Like we discussed earlier, partnerships and relationships are very important for community policing, but another topic for it would be organizational transformation. An easy to understand description of organizational transformation would be the alignment of organizational management, structure, personnel, and information systems that support community partnerships and problem solving. In my own words community policing is a better way to help our police force from being in multiple places at one time. For instance neighborhood watch programs are a great asset to have when you have the local community monitoring actions and situations that are occurring. With this type of program established, it gives the local police a chance to venture off into other locations to ensure they are patrolling in other…
The Criminal Justice System is the system of law enforcement that is directly involved in apprehending, prosecuting, defending, sentencing and punishes those who is suspected or convicted of criminal offenses. The two main systems are the State and Federal: The state criminal justice systems handles crime committed within their state boundaries while the Federal criminal justice system handles crimes committed on federal property or in several states; Federal crimes compared to state crimes are more severe and the jail times are longer. The Jury plays a central role in the justice system,in a trial the jury hears evidence, testimonies, and determines whether it satisfies the crime. (Burns, Ronald G. The Criminal Justice System.
