Criminal Justice System
The criminal justice system denotes a set of processes and agencies formulated by
governments to manage crimes and enforce penalties on people who contravene laws. The United
States depends on different systems. Operations of these systems depend on the underlying
authority, which can be the state, tribal government, city, county, or federal government. The major
systems are the state and federal criminal justice systems with five significant components that
include defense attorneys, corrections, law enforcement, courts, and prosecution. This essay delves
into the element of corrections in the U.S. with a focus on the state of Ohio.
National Statistics Reports
Correctional systems rely on officers to monitor convicted offenders who are in prison, in
jail, or on parole. The main objective of correctional officers is to ensure facilities and communities
that host wrongdoers are safe and secure. Besides, the officers formulate pre-sentencing material
with comprehensive background information regarding wrongdoers that help juries decide
sentences. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) contains essential data about correctional systems.
