Number of pages:
7
ABSTRACT:
In 7 pages, the author discusses three significant challenges confronting corrections in the 21st century. "The criminal justice system is comprised of the police, the courts, and the department of corrections. The criminal justice system is a checks and balance system, in that each component defines the others. These components work independently and together in order to ensure that laws are kept, that people tried for crimes are given their Constitutional rights, and that those found guilty are either punished or rehabilitated or both. The field of corrections has three significant challenges facing it in the 21st century: prison overcrowding, limited funds, and protecting society from criminals by imprisonment and/or rehabilitation." Bibliography lists 6 sources.
