The old adage, "The more things change, the more they stay the same," first stated by Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, perfectly describes the current Criminal Justice System in America. The racially-motivated statutes passed during Reconstruction, commonly known as the Jim Crow Laws, enforced and perpetuated the racial divide in the South supposedly eradicated by the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of the Civil War. Lasting until 1965, these statutes prevented African Americans from voting, owning land, and earning an equal education (Alexander 3). While not outwardly racist, through wording and enforcement, these laws subjugated African Americans to unfair and racist treatment.
The criminal justice system serves a couple of purposes, it allows investigating and punishing of anyone that is committing a crime also, it protects the citizens and tries to detour the public from criminal activity. What is a crime? It can be anything from illegal gambling to a very serious matter all together such as murder.

A career choose, what I choose is criminal justice. Why I choose it? Since I could remember I loved mysteries, so branching out to the part of a homicide detective seemed great. What’s the best kind of mystery? Most people love a good murder (to solve). I could help people out, give them closure when they have lost a family member. It hurts so much more, when they are taken away from us. By someone else, Death is very hard on the family, but when a person’s life is taken away by someone else it makes it so much harder then normally. So being able to help the family would be one of the best parts of the job. But the other part, like putting a killer away is good as well.
The criminal justice system is a virtuous system. Its purpose is to prevent crime and to create a peaceful society. We acknowledge our rights from wrongs, we punish those who do in the wrong and not tolerate the bad actions of others. On the other hand, the system could be a bad thing because things aren’t always equal or people have different perspectives. Such as race, laws, and people. Perspectives on the hand meaning that everyone sees things in their own point of view. The police officers that we hold trust in are not always the ones to trust.

Right when victims’ spatiotemporal regions are facilitated with that of the liable party and 'when the potential criminal's excitement to execute a wrongdoing has been initiated'(W.L. Marshall et al., 2015), a crime will happen. Consolidating these two theories, we prescribe that men who have continued with supervisory access to youths may be at inspired threat. Under these circumstances, when the wrongdoer has lost a wellspring of sexual and closeness satisfaction, he will be arranged
Criminal law includes an arrangement of legal guidelines intended to keep people safe and stop wrongful behavior. The individuals who disregard the law confront detainment, fines, and other punishments. The American criminal justice system is both involved and opposing in nature.
