The criminal justice system is ineffective true or false?

what would the criminal justice system have to do to improve its effectiveness? should they be focussing more on retribution or rehabilitation? crime rates do not fall regardless of the rise in prison inmate numbers, does this signify to you, that prison is a bodgey punishment?





I am not trying to get everyone to do my assignment for me, just interested in other opinions.The criminal justice system is ineffective true or false?
it is not the system that is corrupt, it's the people running itThe criminal justice system is ineffective true or false?
True and False it depends
currently i believe that is moderately effective, but far too small. All/most prisons are overflowing right now (it's a shame, but true), and there is simply no more room for people to put criminals. I think you could swing it either left or right.





one way would (besides expanding the system) is to raise the execution rate of people on death row. currently I think it is around 3% (which in some cities means you are more likely to die on the street then on death row). The motivation to commit crime with numbers like that is high, and so it will happen.





Another, perhaps better way, is to have mandatory education in jail for those who haven't received it. one of the highest constants of criminals is that they have a low level of education. if someone gets out of jail with a diploma they can get a reasonable job, and if they're in there for long enough they could come out with a college degree. However this then poses the problem of committing crime simply to get into jail and have the oppurtunity (if the education in jail became better than public schools like it might be in my area) to get a better education.
