There are several incidence and actions that people involve themselves in, and therefore most states have come up with a system to control the behavior of such people. That is why you will find that many criminal justice agencies in a state deal with various kinds of violations. You will see that all of them are different executing their mandate the best way they know how but the goal is always the same.
The police service is the one that has officers that you will encounter all the time on the road. The police have the responsibility of ensuring these activities do not happen and in case it takes place, the police are also expected to be the first on site. If something adverse has happened, but the details are not precise, it is them that will have to get everything for people to understand what transpired.
When the police department has all the data, they normally take the information to the prosecution for further examination. Here, everything is looked into for further details such that if the case makes it in court, it will not be thrown out immediately. They have a job to show everyone that indeed the accused is guilty of having involved themselves in something that is against the law. That is why they are always reliant on the police to get them substantial evidence.
The other unit that must be mentioned is the courts which occupy a very distinctive terrain in the whole system. Their role is in allowing the evidence to be facilitated so that it can be determined whether one is guilty or innocent of some act. For them, they occupy a neutral position where any party be it the prosecutions or accused has a chance of winning the case.
The sentencing takes place after the prosecution has presented in court evidence that proves the guilt of the offender. Sometimes, the accused will prefer not to lengthen the proceedings by admitting to their culpability in the first sessions. That implies that a ruling will be made there.
The sentencing is usually given under different conditions, and it will be as per the crime that was committed and that is why you will see people serving different terms. Sometimes it is possible to get an individual imprisoned for life for having committed a capital offense. The reason as to why this is done is so that they can be remorseful for their actions.
The probation department is another section that cannot be ignored. They get involved with offenders at almost all stages during sentencing when they are being tried, sentencing and also when they are being released. Their focus is on trying to get a criminal to spend a life that is free of crime.
These are some of the agencies that play significant roles, but the truth is that there are many more. In fact, each state will have a different approach that they give it. Learning everything at first might not be so easy and hence the reason why the main ones have been illustrated above.
