One of the most important roles of the criminal justice system is to uphold the rule of law and ensure that justice is served fairly and equitably for all members of society. This means that the system must be designed to protect the rights of all individuals, regardless of their background, race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.
At no level should wanting retribution ever be the goal. Punishment is justifiable as a deterrent, a way to keep dangerous individuals out of society, and a path to rehabilitation.
The goal of a perfect criminal justice system should be to identify offenders who may be rehabilitable and strive tirelessly to reintegrate them into society. Some offenders will never be safe for society, and not all criminals require rehabilitation through punishment.
Justice should be sought by the criminal justice system. It is obviously impossible for it to be achieved because justice is always arbitrary and impending, and giving it to a third party "system" necessarily removes the procedure from this context. As a result, the aim of the legal system ought to be to come as close to justice as possible.
A justice system's primary goal is to safeguard the public since it is preferable to prevent someone from committing a crime than to punish them for it.
Criminal justice systems satisfy the societies in which they are found, and humans have a natural need for retribution—to see justice done and offenders punished as they should be—to varied degrees.
Prosecution. Without good prosecutors and politicians to back them, nothing else matters.
