societys ascent to civilization and enlightenment is best judged by its criminal justice system its definition of crime, its law enforcement method and its machinery for the apprehension, prosecution and conviction of persons perceived as criminals.

Prosecution The best criminal justice system in the world cannot absolutely guarantee that an innocent person would not be punished and the guilty not set free. Every eradication activity must begin with suspects and the process of determining the identity of the guilty must be initiated by the prosecutor.

Considerations that influence & modify the prosecutors discretion include: Presence or absence, & strength or weakness of, evidence proving existence of the elements of the crime charged & the connection of the alleged offender to the criminal act 2. Nature of complaint & attitude of offended party 3. Character of accused, his status in the community, & the impact of prosecution on his family 4. Seriousness of offense 5.

Community Outside the formal organization, however, the community is the basic element and considered the fifth (5th) component of the entire criminal justice system. It is involved in keeping persons from committing crimes, and to make sure that those who were released from imprisonment will not become habitual offenders.

DISCRETION Law Enforcement Police officers exercise a great amount of discretion but this discretion may be abused and may lead to tyranny and injustice. But if they can exercise fairly and properly this discretion, they can instill respect for the law and obedience to authority.

DISCRETION Prosecution Prosecutorial discretion may also be abused or misused. Abused or misused discretion results in justice, the professional, habitual criminals who generally have expert legal advice and are the best able to take full advantage of the bargaining opportunity maybe dealt with excessive leniency and the marginal offenders or neophytes may be dealt with harshly.
