Week 5 Blog - The Daily Fathom: The Criminal Justice System


Today the discussion will home in on the conversation about the criminal justice system and how the sociological world sees it. Different people based on their beliefs, affiliations and personal opinions view the criminal justice system in many diverse ways. While many are aware of what happens in the system and may not agree with it, there are rarely significant changes made in our criminal system unless a problem lingers. Sociologist have given their opinions on how they look at the system and are a significant resource into the depths of the study of how criminals are rehabilitated. 

This post will focus on how I think our society should change how we deal with a certain type of crime or criminal based off of what I have read regarding how sociologist feel. In my personal opinion I do not think change is not needed for the system, as I generally feel that the system is operational. The way that we are able to deal with crimes and criminals is all centered on rehabilitation as opposed to punishment. As a society we are hoping to change peoples lives for the better, those people being the criminals may have made past mistakes but the system hopes to correct those and shine a light on a improved life. We do a great job just of controlling the outburst of most crimes and there is no need to change something that seems to be working. In conclusion the system seems to be working fine for now and unless reason for a change is discovered everything will remain the same.
