Cleanup

I've understand this very clear tagged this page for cleanup because I believe that lots of information neeeds to be reformatted or removed. The style needs to be changed as well as taking emphasis off the colonial/American justice system, or at least explaining other systems of criminal justice.

As made obvious in this article, entry level careers are available such as corrections officers or police officers, although there is no mention made of a highly educated person being able to find a career within the field that not only challenges them but forces them to use the education that they gained through undergraduate and even post-graduate studies. Such examples of this are becoming an attorney, accountant, or social worker, all of which require at the least an undergraduate degree to gain an understanding of each field.

I also feel that under the law heading, removing “usually enforced through a set of institutions” and give a more elaborate definition of the word law would better explain what law actually is. I would also include what these institutions could be or how one would go about ensuring that these laws are upheld to clear up any confusion that the reader might be feeling by the broadness of the sentence. Another improvement I feel to be somewhat necessary for this article would be to elaborate on the history section, specifically on the Criminal Justice systems of other countries. While in the United States, our main focus should be on our own Criminal Justice system, I feel that having somewhat of an incite to other countries systems would be rather helpful to anyone in the field given that the interaction with other countries systems could potentially occur.

The last major change I would choose to make to this article would to be to take the Modern Police heading and place it as a subdivision under Policing, and then take the History section and place it in the beginning of the article. I do not feel that the end of the article is an appropriate mention for the history of the field, and instead should be placed in the beginning of an article to give the reader some incite as to where each subdivision within the field is stemming from. I also feel that if there is a whole section dedicated for just Policing, that the Modern Police paragraph should be placed as a subdivision underneath that instead of thrown in at the end where it doesn’t logically fall into place.

Criminal History

I think this part of the article needs major expansion as it, at the moment, focuses primarily on the USA. Lets face it, crime existed a long time before the USA did, and it is important to take into consdireation the full development of crime from ancient periods to modern world-wide trends. alf 12:12, 27 September 2005 (UTC) Criminal justice is the profession of investigating crimes and doing police work.

Hammurabi's Code

Should the link to Hammurabi's Code be included in the 'See Also' section? After all, it is an important part of history of Criminal justice.--Martin925 01:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject Prisons

If anyone's interested, I've proposed a new wikiproject for the creation of articles regarding specific prisons here. --Cdogsimmons (talk) 01:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
