This is a pivotal part in terms of maintain the functioning of society and to ensure that people don’t go around breaking laws wherever and whenever they want. The criminal justice system is therefore a central part of society and without is society would quickly deteriorate into chaos. There are however a number of issues in the criminal justice system. Some of these issues include false convictions and bias within the courtroom. The tutorial discussion this week was essentially discussing how the system operates and some of the flaws within the system such as false convictions which come about through human error or in extreme cases racial bias (Alberto F.

During class we learned about the use of force continuum. During class I learned that the use of force continuum was broken down to 5 or 6 broad levels that are designed to be flexible as the need of force changes in the situation.

These types of clients need a different type of program or plan from a case manager. They need to develop skill to deal with what has happened in their lives to bring them to their current state in that moment in time. Within the corrections, it is believed that all need the assistance. All inmates or clients in this type of setting have wound up here in some sort of manner that needs to be evaluated and corrected. The idea behind corrections facilities is to take a criminal and rehabilitate them so that they may reenter society a better person and as one that may become a contributor to society instead of taking from society.

(Clark, 2013). Although shock incarceration is a better solution then adult prisons, it has been criticized over its incidents involving abuse of inmates by staff. (Cullen, 2012) Punishment and rehabilitation are a major part of the criminal justice system and will be effective in controlling crime if there is a way to incorporate the two factors to work together.

Police departments begun to review data on stops and change police officers behaviors, arguments and attitudes towards the leading of stereotype based discriminatory treatment. (Racial profiling, 2012) This researcher frowns much upon racial profiling but with surveys conducted every day on who is likely to commit a crime, and what age, and what sex, and what minority group then people tend to lean towards these surveys proving that race is a huge part of crime involvement. In conclusion, criminal profiling works as an investigative tool to help solve crimes. Criminal profiling has come a long way and still needs a lot of improvement.
| Classification of Inmates | | | | | Classifications systems help minimize the potential for prison violence, escape, and institutional misconduct. During the past two decades, professionals in prisons and those in other correctional systems worked to improve their approaches to classifying offenders according to custody, work, and programming needs. As a result of these efforts, control in prisons has been improved, custody decisions are more consistent, prisoner program needs are assessed more accurately and institutional violence has declined. Inmates are classified as soon as the person is convicted of a crime; he or she is sent to the level of a prison accordingly with respect to his crime. The nature of a crime determines the level of a prison, if a person committed a more violent crime; it is likely that he would be sent to a more secured level of a prison.
