Justice System

The justice system refers to the institutional structures and processes through which legal laws and regulations are enforced, disputes are resolved, and justice is administered within a society. It encompasses various components, including law enforcement agencies, the judiciary (courts), and correctional institutions. The primary objective of the justice system is to maintain social order, protect individual rights, and ensure accountability for unlawful behavior, thereby upholding the rule of law. The system aims to ensure fair treatment of all individuals and facilitate the resolution of legal matters. It includes processes such as investigation of crimes, prosecution of offenders, adjudication by judges or juries, and sentencing of convicted individuals, as well as rehabilitation efforts for offenders. The effectiveness and fairness of a justice system are crucial for public trust and the overall functioning of a democratic society.
