Have you ever heard the poem “The Ballad of East and West” it says:” East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet”. Western countries and non-western countries are determined by a combination of factors such as its geological location, cultural background, education and political system. Western world refers to North and South America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand whereas the Eastern world refers to nations in the Asia and Middle East.

The unwritten laws are composed of the principles of English Common law adapted to local circumstances, case and local customary law; Muslim law is also a very important source of law applicable only to the Muslim population and administered by a separate system of courts.
Criminal Justice framework is an expression used to express the associated segments of the courts, police, and remedial offices in the legislature. The term additionally portrays the criminal equity organizations found inside states in a government. All in all the criminal equity framework is hence comprised of the three previously stated reliant parts. Law-production has regularly been included by a few as the forward criminal equity part, since all genuine movement of the criminal equity framework exudes from the law (Fuller, 2005). The comprehension of this is imperative on the grounds that if the methodology of criminal equity is out of line, a parcel of the injustice will without a doubt stem from the criminal law.

The benefits of comparing criminal justice systems internationally is to gain insight as to the differences and similarities of our system, giving us an idea of what works where and why. More specifically, learning from others experiences and methods of incapacitation, rehabilitation, restitution, and learned obedience to the law. Every country has different cultures and norms, comparisons of different legal practices through history helps in understanding human behaviors and how they have evolved. Secondly, the author’s perception is one that we do not plunge into a narrow, national focus of ethnocentrism believing that the United States has nothing to contribute or learn. Lastly, transnational crimes brought to our doorsteps from foreigners
One could view the criminal justice system as an integral part of society, portraying reflexively through consciousness and commentary on itself through the legislation of statutory law and exercising it through sentencing; removing arbitration within society by establishing labels and boundaries of crime and criminality. The criminal justice system is a multi-faceted institution aspiring to develop a platform whereby: there is equality before the law, balancing the protection of the community, to deter and prevent occurrence of crime, reform and rehabilitate transgressors and criminals, and reparation and restitution between offender and victim (White and Perrone 2015: 487). These principles are appraised by ‘advisory bodies’ in order to disseminate
Introduction The criminal Justice system is a system of laws and rulings which are there to protect the community. Prisons are used as the last stage of the Criminal Justice System and they are there as a correction service. Correction services are used to reattribute the community and to reform the criminal.
Most people don’t know about the three major components of the criminal justice system, but, in this paper the reader will know what they are. The reader will also read about how the three components interrelate to one another, and also how the conflict one another. The
With so many different cultural and historical perspectives, it can change the way the criminal justice system works. Two types of criminal justice systems in which bring a lot of historical and cultural perspective include Iraq and Italy. Both countries also have legal tradition in which help in the way the criminal justice system works. In addition, both politics and legal issues can also cause the criminal justice system to change. However, the answer to the question relies on how this all does play in to the criminal justice systems for both Iraq and Italy.
Islam. One word that can trigger a memory of fear, strange rituals, and a sense of general confusion for a westerner. So many ideas and traditions separate the East and the West, yet hardly anyone seems to have the answer that tells us why. Why are they so different from one another? Why do they see each other as inherently wrong, and at times, silly? Eastern and Western peoples often process and understand the world quite differently, especially when it comes to status, and authority. This can be clearly shown by the idea that the West embodies innocence-guilt culture, and the East embodies honor-shame culture.
The expansion of the criminal justice system is a consequence of two decades of "get-tough" policy making. New policies include those targeted at violent and repeat offenders, such as the death penalty and three strikes laws. They also include new mandatory sentences and policing strategies that target nonviolent property and public order offenders, especially drug users ( ). Much of the growth of the prison and jail populations is a result of policies and practices that target these nonviolent offenders. Indeed, the U.S. now arrests and incarcerates a much larger proportion of those accused of property, public order, or drug offenses than do other industrialized countries, and it does so for significantly longer periods of time.
This paper will describe my understanding of the text and of the lectures provided in the class.

Members of organizations attempt to meet their psychological, ego and emotional needs within the organization. Criminal justice organizations are particularly unique compared to other public or private sector organizations because of the governmental granted authority. Management within these organizations can be defined as the process by
Before going into college to study Criminal Justice, I had the same opinion as most people had when it came to criminals or deviant behavior. The classic “if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime,” phrase was mentioned many times throughout my youth, whether it be for something as simple as an explanation for grounding me or to explain why doing the wrong things will give you a one-way ticket to prison. My life was surrounded by crime. I managed to separate myself from the “wrong-doers” with the help of my mother, but I still spent most of my life around law enforcement. To me, police officers were always the ones doing everything right. In my mind, if someone died at the hands of a police officer it was probably their fault, if they were beaten they deserved it, the police were only doing what they had to do to make our communities a safer place.
