The Structure of Criminal Justice. The phrase criminal justice system refers to a collection of federal, state, and local public agencies that deal with the crime problem. These agencies process suspects, defendants, and convicted offenders and are interdependent insofar as the decisions of one agency affect other agencies.
Social justice. Any solution to a criminal justice case needs to include the concept of social justice. Social justice considers a broader concept of justice than the criminal justice. Issues of sexism, racism and inequality are also part of the concern of social justice.
