Teamwork in combating crime and delivering of justice

According to the strategic plan by the criminal justice for 2008-2011, the focus is on the agencies of justice systems in Wales and England to work closely in delivering justice system. This should be through effectively bringing serious offences to justice and also ensure high confidence among the members of public. The importance of highly regarding the needs of the convicts is being addressed through promoting simple but efficient processes (Young, 1999).

Analysis of the models of criminal justice through research and studies indicate that, in the United Kingdom, there is no criminal system that can be termed as true because very few criminal justice systems share a lot of information. This leads to conflict in the criminal justice systems because at one time, police may be working hard to concentrate criminals into prison against the wish of the prison officials. The officials would be against overcrowding in the prison because of the limited facilities. They therefore prefer releasing some criminals and putting them into other programs that are community based. The findings of this research therefore advocate for the use of the models for the criminal justice system, as they greatly help to understand the aims and characteristics of the criminal justice systems in the United Kingdom. This is to ensure justice is exercised for both the victim and the defendant as well as helping the criminal through rehabilitation not to offend again (Clarke, 1993).
