Criminal Justice Abstract: According to one recent study, around 5% of the GDP goes on crime control. In spite of these measures, the crime in the last few years has increased. A number of studies have indicated that crime prevention can considerably cut down on offences as well as costs. High-tech crimes are a new kind of white-collar crimes that can be one single event or constant and usually involve the theft of information, resources, or funds. Organization is very important to any establishment, professional or otherwise. Organization is what keeps things running smoothly and proficiently, so that the main job, in this case law enforcement, can be accomplished without the added hassle and confusion that being unorganized always inevitably brings. Introduction: In the past few decades, the rate of crime and the costs to prevent it has skyrocketed. Government is spending huge amount of their money and resources on preventing, investigating and dealing with the consequences of these crimes on social and public life. According to one recent study, around 5% of the GDP goes on crime control. In spite of these measures, the crime in the last few years has increased. With crime persistently resisting so-called "disciplinary" efforts to fight it, curiosity among legal experts has progressively shifted to new methods of preventing criminality, rather than punishing it (Lunde 2004). A number of studies have indicated that crime prevention can considerably cut down on

Criminal psychologist use criminal profiling to help the law enforcement preform new ways of investigating a suspect. The television show “Criminal Minds,” is one of many examples of a criminal psychologist. The actors preform as a whole unit and they use psychology strategies to profile a person.

Crime has always been and continues to be a hot political topic, the subject of countless commentaries by pundits and almost always an issue in state and local elections.

On the other hand, personnel with different skills and roles in crime prevention, whether police officers, judges and prosecutors, probation officers, social workers, health service, researchers, civil society organizations and communities, all play an important role in crime prevention project development and implementation (Shaw, et al, 2010, p.xx).
Although criminal justice and social justice have some differences in the definition and extension, it is not to say that both of them are completely contradictory. Because they are aligned in pursuing the value of fairness and justice. Therefore, in the light of the discussion of the inexplicable conflict between criminal justice and social justice, it is necessary to try our best to comprehensibly link criminal justice with social justice and improve the effectiveness of judicial activities.

Over the past 3 decades, crime has continued to be a major issue that has attracted huge public concern characterized with discussion and action that are usually unbalanced and not likely to lessen crime rates. The public concern has also been accompanied by political action and major public expenditure to reduce such incidents. Political discussion and actions as well as public expenditure have played a major role in the reduction of crime rates in the recent past. Recent reports have indicated that crime rates have sharply declined despite the lack of consensus on how to deal with criminal activity.

Criminal activities will never completely end, owing to the human nature of wanting to defy law and order. However, criminal activities can be mitigated. The history of crime is as old as the beginning of life itself. In every generation of time, we learn of people who engaged in crimes against the law and who were punished in accordance to law of the lands in which they lived. Today, methods of mitigating crime have greatly improved, so has the methods of committing crime. It’s a delicate game. The reception of crime prevention programs has however been on the rise and people are beginning to see the effect of these programs owing to many cases being solved and more criminals brought to justice.

The paper will investigate crime rates in various states and offer a proposition on how these crimes could be minimized or done away with altogether.

Situational method suggests observation methods utilizing representatives, cautions, alarms and surveillance cameras. A Developmental Strategy includes inspecting the underlying drivers of criminal acts against organizations, for example, adolescent misconduct, destitution and financial cycles.
