OK I am not too sure on that dot-point. But generally you would be expected to look at issues such as what is in plcace in achieving justice. Criminal justice issues would include areas such as enforcement (police powers) and adjudication (process and legal aid) and punishment/rehabilitation (length of sentences and achievements).

Criminal justice issues to examine (you only need to know one in detail):

The age of criminal responsibility
Victims rights
Gay & lesbian rights
Drug Court

If you want more let me know.

Ms 12 i dont understand where you are coming from? i am a bit confused

 

[MiuMiu]

Those are current criminal justice issues. Select one and research it. How can that be hard to understand?

For eg: the age of criminal responsibility.

What are the associated criminal justice issues? (eg. the notion of doli incapax, should a 10 year old who commits a violent crime completely get off because the law deems him of insufficient age to be held accountable for his own actions?)

5) aboriginal and torres strait islanders and the criminal justice system

 

[MiuMiu]
