The criminal justice system is made-up of three major components: the police, the courts, and corrections. The police are responsible for ensuring social peace and tranquility; in addition to finding, capturing, and helping bring lawbreakers to justice through effective investigative practices. The courts provide a platform for sifting through the evidence police gather to discover the facts of a crime; and render a punishment, set forth by the levels of government, for the crime(s). Finally, corrections is responsible for ensuring an offender fulfills the requirements of his/her court sentence. From this perspective, it is clear to see that each component operates somewhat independently, except for the correctional industry. The correctional industry functions rely on the actions of all criminal justice components.
