Criminal Justice Trends Michelle Denning CJA/484 April 22, 2013 David Mailloux Criminal Justice Trends There were a lot of directional and functional alterations in the American corrections during the last sixty years.

3.0 Recommendations 3.1 To reduce the exceeding of budgets, I recommend that more time is spent to see where money can be saved without risking health and safety. This will help to ensure that costs are covered by the budget but also ensure that even though not as much money is being spent, the level of health and safety is maintained. 3.2 To increase budget accuracy, we will provide our budget department with the latest prices and costs that they need to work with to create the budgets.

Income is an important area of budgeting, this because without income there is no money to work within. It is necessary to raise the amount of income that is available for the budget.
