CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAM 2
Introduction
The essay is focused over the administration of a criminal justice program in a local
community in the US. The goals and objectives of the program would also be taken into
account with reference to the target population. The possible outcomes would imply the
feasibility of the program thereby capitulating upon the goals and objectives.
Criminal justice program
The criminal justice program in the community is purported to offer rehabilitation
programs for those involved in the various kinds of crimes such as murder, culpable
homicide, drug abuse and various violent activities such as battery and assault. The mission,
goals and objectives of the program are to treat offenders through correctional means by
offering reformative service instead of being detained for a certain period (Higgins & Vito,
2015). The target population would be the people residing in the local community. As a
result, it would serve as an example for other related criminal justice programs operating at
various local communities in the US. Since the inception of the criminal justice program in
the recent past, it has offered rehabilitation services for offenders to a huge extent thereby
preventing them to be imprisoned in the future. The possible outcomes of the reformatory
measures include the emergence of the people undergoing such treatment as better human
beings, reduction of crime rate at the area concerned and fostering of humanity in the local
community in the US with regard to the treatment of criminals. These outcomes are intended
to make the criminal justice program a success thereby helping it to attain its mission and
aims in a timely manner and serving the community in an effective and efficient manner.
These outcomes may also be a result of more and more people in the local community being
inducted into the program. The programs are also aimed at counseling the offenders in such a
manner so that they do not indulge in criminal and violent activities in the future (American
Psychological Association, 2009). It is imperative that the objectives involve a humane
approach towards the correction of the criminals.
Conclusion
It can be concluded by stating that the mission, goals and objectives of the criminal
justice program are justified and appropriate. The possible outcomes have also been

discussed and demonstrated as aforesaid with respect to the reformation of criminals by
