Publisher: Dedona Publishing
Summary
In recent decades, there has been increased focus on issues of systemic bias and inequality within criminal justice systems. Movements for reform have addressed concerns about racial profiling, mass incarceration, and the disproportionate impact of criminal justice policies on marginalized communities. Alternative approaches to justice, such as restorative justice programs and problem-solving courts, have gained traction in many jurisdictions. These methods aim to address the root causes of criminal behavior and promote healing for both offenders and victims. The evolution of criminal justice continues today, with ongoing debates about the balance between public safety and individual rights, the effectiveness of various approaches to crime prevention and rehabilitation, and the role of technology in law enforcement and the legal system. As societies change, criminal justice systems must adapt to new challenges while striving to uphold principles of fairness, equality, and justice for all.
