Criminal justice

Delivering justice to persons who have been accused of committing crimes is an essential part of the field of criminal justice. The criminal justice system is comprised of a number of different government entities and agencies. The rehabilitation of criminals, the prevention of more crimes, and the provision of emotional support for victims are all goals. The institutions of the criminal justice system that are most important are the police force, the attorneys for the prosecution and defence, the courts, and the correctional facilities.
