Criminology: The Intricacies of Criminal and Social Justice (2 in 1)

This book contains two titles, which are the following:

1 - The key processes in the criminal justice system are investigation, arrest, prosecution, pretrial, trial, sentencing, corrections, and reentry. Investigation involves law enforcement investigating a crime, gathering evidence, and identifying suspects. Arrest involves taking suspects into custody based on probable cause. Prosecution involves prosecutors reviewing evidence, deciding on charges, and filing them in court. Pretrial includes bail hearings, plea bargaining, and preliminary hearings. Trial is a court proceeding to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused, including opening statements, witness testimonies, and closing arguments. Sentencing involves a judge determining the sentence for a convicted offender. Corrections involve offenders serving their sentences in correctional facilities or through community-based programs. Reentry involves programs to help former inmates reintegrate into society, aiming to reduce recidivism.

2 - Social justice has a rich and complex history, shaped by numerous social, political, and economic movements over centuries. Its roots can be traced back to the Enlightenment era, where philosophers like John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau introduced ideas of equality, individual rights, and the social contract. These concepts laid the groundwork for future social justice movements by emphasizing the inherent rights and dignity of every individual.
