Question

In what ways can criminal justice systems functionaries incorporate the principles of Ubuntu in their daily lives?

Answer 1

Explanation:

As a criminal justice system functionary we must incorporate Ubuntu principles by treating each one with dignity or equally irrespective of their race, gender, and status. Ubuntu should not, however, blind us as a functionary to an extension that we'd go against our code of conduct and ethics.
