Criminal justice is the system of practices/institutions that support social control, deter and mitigate crime, and deal with those who commit crime. Law Enforcement is a category of Criminal Justice. Most schools have programs of "Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice," which encompass all the categories in the field, including becoming a police officer, working in corrections or working in the courts. How the degree is granted depends on the major field of study and how the school offers its degrees.

That depends on what type of law enforcement agency you are looking into. Small agencies like town pd normally don't request degrees.

Jobs in Criminal Justice?

Careers in the field of criminal justice have some variety, but they are generally related to law enforcement in some capacity. Junior colleges and major universities often offer training in criminal justice, though it is primarily based in theory and not hands-on training.Work EnvironmentPeople who work in the field of criminal justice may work for the sheriff's department, as a probation or parole officer, or a corrections treatment specialist. Criminal justice also encompasses professions ranging from paralegals to border patrol agents. These jobs typically require some time in the field, particularly if they are in law enforcement, and may also include paperwork. A job in criminal justice often requires coming into contact with dangerous people and/or situations.Useful SkillsA career in criminal justice requires problem solving skills, good communication, and the ability to make decisions and act quickly. Because the jobs in this field are often related to law enforcement, judgement calls about when to arrest and how to follow up on the clues to a crime are a realistic expectation. As a result, people in criminal justice should expect to make difficult decisions and then justify them. Good communication is essential because facts must often be relayed to the public or other people who are working on the same case.TrainingAfter obtaining a degree in criminal justice from a college or university, people in this field are also required to get specific training for the job that they fill. For instance, someone going to work for the sheriff's department may need very different skills than one who becomes a probation officer. Careers in law enforcement require physical tests in addition to written training. Working in the field as a police officer or other agent may require chasing people, so it is imperative that anyone working in these criminal justice positions are physically fit enough to run when they need to.


Is criminal justice the same as csi?

Criminal Justice is a broad field, which encompasses the police (law-enforcement), the district attorney (state attorney, solicitor), the detention center (jail, juvenile detention center), the court system, probation and parole services, and the state or federal departments of corrections (federal or state prisons). Within the police department are crime scene investigators, or CSI's. They are detectives and technicians who process and investigate crime scenes. Unlike the CSI: series on TV, the detectives are not really involved in solving the crimes. They uncover clues and evidence, which are generally turned over to the actual detectives who are investigating the case (such as homicide, robbery, etc.). So to answer your question: yes, they are related. CSI's are members of the criminal justice system by virtue of the fact that they are law-enforcement officers (some are not: they're only technicians).


What happen when different part of the criminal system vie for the same case same person same resource and so forth and does this occur?

When different parts of the criminal justice system vie for the same case, it can result in conflicts and inefficiencies. This can occur when multiple law enforcement agencies compete for jurisdiction, when prosecutors from different offices handle the same case, or when there is overlap between various court jurisdictions. Such situations can lead to duplication of efforts, confusion, and delays in the legal proceedings.


How do the main components of the criminal justice conflict with one another?

Sometimes the components of the criminal justice system conflict because everyone does not see nor view things the same way and we sometimes allow personal feelings to get involved with how things really should be. Laws change daily and sometimes law enforcement officers,prosecution teams,and the corrections department don't always keep up with the news laws and there changes.

Why criminal considered a superstar of the criminal juctice system?

The criminal justice system is a complex system from the moment of arrest to the moment of justice, whether the accused plead or is found guilty, or acquitted. The focus on the criminal justive system is that person-- the accused. So this is why the accused is so-called the Superstar of the justice system: if he wasn't there would be no criminal justice system. This is the same analogy as in medicine: the superstar of medicine is not the doctor, nurse, or technician: it's the patient! It is the patient who either gets better, worse, or dies.
