Criminal Justice Schools

Criminal justice system refers to the collective institutions through which an accused offender passes until the accusations have been disposed of or the assessed punishment concluded. 

The criminal justice system consists of three main parts:

(1) law enforcement (police, sheriffs, marshals)

(2) adjudication (courts which include judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers)

(3) corrections (prison officials, probation officers, and parole officers).
