Ms. Kristy's homework
According to Wikipedia The Free Enciclopedia: ''Criminal justice is the sistem of practices and institutions of governments directed at upholding social control, deterring and mitigatin crime, and sanctioning those who violate laws with criminal penalties and rehabilitation efforts.
In the United States, criminal justice policy has been guided by the 1969 President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice, which issued a ground-breaking report ''The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society''. This report made more than 200 recommendations as part of a comprehensive approach toward the prevention and fighting of crime.
Some of those recommendations found their way into the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. The commission advocated a ''systems'' approach to criminal justice, with improved coordination among law enforcement, courts, and correction agencies. The President's Commission defined the criminal justice sistem as the means for society to enforce the standards of conduct necessary to protect individuals and the community''.
