When dealing with a crime who is taking action against the offender?
In criminal cases, the District Attorney's office decides who to prosecute, and then does the prosecution. This is opposed to civil cases, in which a private citizen is suing and hires a private lawyer to represent them.
Confusion may result from the term "pressing charges," which is typically attributed to a private citizen that was harmed by a given crime. A private citizen can lodge a formal request/complaint to try someone in criminal court, but the DA's office ultimately decides whether or not to do it, and does not require any victim to press charges to do so.
The legal philosophy in the US considers any given crime to be "an attack on all of us" (paraphrasing), and therefore reserves the right to prosecute on behalf of all belonging to the jurisdiction of the crime. This is why cases are titled "[state] vs [defendant]."

This aphorism is stated in the order that we are accustomed to for historical reasons. The principle that justice should be done was accepted from the earliest times. It was probably accepted as a sine qua non of justice even before the Emperor Justinian gave his name to the concept of justice. The principle that justice must be seen to be done came later, and is still not universally accepted, even in countries with advanced legal systems. The best reason for keeping the saying as it is may be that insisting on visible justice is the best way of ensuring actualjustice being done. It is instructive to consider the previous paragraph in the light of Guantanamo Bay.
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 is a summary of the criminal justice system?
The criminal justice system (in the United States) endeavors to maintain public safety and personal freedoms by dealing with criminal activity. There are 3 main agencies: the police, the courts, and the correctional agencies. The police identify and investigate activity that violates criminal law. The courts take criminal activity and hold a fair trial, ultimately determining if somebody has violated criminal law and what consequences they will face. Then the correctional agencies will carry out the consequences, while upholding the criminal's personal rights.
How many Americans have been found not guilty by reason of insanity?
Usually, a defendant will need to have a complete mental evaluation as a first step in his insanity defense. Psychiatrists or psychologists will likely take the stand and testify about the defendant's likely state of mind at the time of the offense. However, even these professionals cannot decide whether or not a defendant is insane because, as discussed above, insanity is a legal term when used as a criminal defense. Therefore, the jury or judge will decide whether the testimony and evidence support a finding of criminal insanity.
Research shows people in treatment for a mental illness are no more violent or dangerous than the the general population. In Sensationalizing Murder and Mental Health John M. Grohol, Psy.D. states, " ... there is virtually no correlation between increased violence risk and mental illness (except in the case of substance abusers)."
