Criminal Justice Policy Process Amber Pickett AJS/582 February 4, 2013 Joseph Gutheinz Abstract This manuscript will describe the criminal justice policy process. The manuscript will also include the key actors in the criminal justice policy process, the steps involved in the criminal justice policy process, and suggestions to improve the criminal justice policy process. Criminal Justice Policy Process Crime control policies, protocols, standards, and guidelines are the efforts of the government to protect society from criminals by reducing crime through initiating policies to control criminal justice issues. The actors of the criminal justice policy process unite to determine what laws and policies can make society a safe place for everyone (Marion & Oliver, 2012). The criminal justice policy process reflects what is best for society as a whole and not what is best for individuals.

Managerialism can be defined as ‘a set of governmental knowledges, techniques and practices which aim to fracture and realign power relations within the core agencies of the criminal justice system in order to transform the structures and reorganize in a cost-effective manner the processes of both funding, delivering and imagining criminal justice.’ (McLaughlin 2013: 260). Such managerialist policies involve things such as the introduction of ‘business’ language and approaches into government crime control, service delivery of crime control as well as monitoring and improving levels of performance. Managerialism can be linked with the theme of ‘actuarial justice’, which suggest an increasing focus on risk management and prevention in crime control is replacing former approaches based on rehabilitation or pure punishment. On the other hand populism, generally refers to the notion that criminal justice policies are based upon the needs of the public.

Explanatory research is defined as: “Seeks to identify causes and effects of social phenomena, to predict how one phenomenon will change or vary in response to variation in some other phenomenon.” (Bachman,Schutt, 2007) According to the textbook this method focuses more on trying to understand the evolution of why someone gets involved with crime. By establishing the causes and the reasoning behind why people get involved with crime, you can better understand the offender
Risk assessment is used to predict future crimes and criminal behaviors; it also analyzes the likelihood of an offender committing an offense.
