Explanation:

The criminal justice system is the network of government and private agencies intended to manage accused and convicted criminals. The criminal justice system is comprised of multiple interrelated pillars, consisting of academia, law enforcement, forensic services, the judiciary, and corrections. These pillars are fashioned to support the ideals of legal justice. Legal justice is the result of forging the rights of individuals with the government’s corresponding duty to ensure and protect those rights – referred to as due process. These constitutional entitlements cannot be given and protected without the abiding commitments of those professionals working in the criminal justice system. Consequently, such professionals must submit themselves to the ethical principles of the criminal justice system and evidence persistent integrity in their character. This is accomplished with the help of a worthy code of professional ethics that signals competence, reliability, accountability, and overall trustworthiness – when properly administered.

People involved in Criminal Justice System are:-

  • The Magistrate:A magistrate (also known as a ‘justice of the peace’) is someone who lives in the local community, and has been trained to decide on cases heard in the magistrates' court. Magistrates are volunteers, and may also sit alongside a judge in the Crown Court for some cases. In the magistrates’ court, there are normally three magistrates who are supported by a legally trained adviser.Sometimes cases are tried by one magistrate, who is a lawyer. They are called a district judge. Magistrates’ courts tend to be less formal places than the Crown Court — for example, magistrates do not wear the white wigs that lawyers and judges wear in the Crown Court.

  • The Judge:The judge is responsible for overseeing the hearing, ruling on points of law and ensuring that the defendant gets a fair trial. Where the defendant is found ‘guilty’ or pleads ‘guilty’, the judge will pass a sentence that reflects the seriousness of the crime and takes into account the defendant’s personal circumstances, and whether they have previously been convicted of similar offences.

  • The Jury:There are 12 members of the public on a jury. After listening to all the evidence during the trial in the Crown Court, and any direction that the judge may give them, they decide whether the defendant is guilty. When all the jurors agree that a defendant is guilty or innocent, it is known as a unanimous verdict. If they can’t all agree, they may be asked by the judge to pass a majority verdict where at least 10 of them agree

  • The Prosecution:The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) prosecutes most cases in the criminal courts. The CPS is independent — it’s not part of the police or the courts. The CPS prosecutes cases on behalf of the Crown, and while it will listen to the views of victims, it makes its decision about prosecuting based on the admissible evidence that’s available, and public interest factors. It is guided in its decision making by the Code for Crown Prosecutors.The CPS employs lawyers who are called Crown Prosecutors or Crown Advocates. They also employ associate prosecutors who are not lawyers, but who are trained to present simple cases in the magistrate’s court. In the Crown Court, the CPS may prosecute the case through one of its Crown Advocates, or instruct a local barrister to prosecute on its behalf. The CPS is not the only prosecutor; criminal prosecutions can be brought by other government agencies and designated bodies on matters such as TV licensing, and environmental or health and safety violations.
