The justice system is not fair because criminals get away free or only get a short sentence and don’t pay for their crimes like they should. Justice isn’t fair because some cases later prove people who spent years in jail are actually innocent.

In order for the Criminal Justice System to effectively deter crime, it is imperative to understand what causes crime, understand why crime exists and why offenders engage in criminal behaviour. In the 18th century criminologists such as Jeremy Bentham, Cesare Bonesana-Beccaria and Cesare Lombroso all established criminological theories, in an attempt to achieve this goal. The most influential theories are known as the Classical and Positivist perspectives. Both of these theories have had a long-term
