Introduction
Due to three fundamental aspects the statistical data has acquired relevancy over the
criminal justice. First one out of them is corresponding to the manifestation of the crime and its
values in the community. Which can be imitated over the relevant apprehension of the
inhabitants and also for claiming of the superior control and punishments. The next one is related
with the upgrading of the State and its people, mostly for the services of the public, here these
issues have been discussed very strongly along with the implication of the politics. These things
have thus defined the management for the main nodes of the policies of the public and the device
of interferences. The third and the last aspect is that result which is attained from the fact which
gets access on the topic and are promoted by the societal information as well as the distribution
of data and matters which are applicable to the public. Enhancement of this process is done with
the help of the increasing technology and efficiencies in the process of collecting information.
Statistical support for making of criminal justice
policy
The most complex and the difficult task is to make attempts for measuring of violence
and crime in the society, which becomes even more difficult for doing so, with the available
governmental and non-official sources of information. Amongst the former circumstance the
considered analysis unit i.e. the mechanisms of the institutions and qualification structuring
process are applicable for its functioning (Reiman & Leighton, 2015).
For the better operating of the institutions for the security of the public and the police
statistics collections i.e. justice system of the crime, the confidence of the public is required in
relation with both of them. The acts of the criminal justice system and the police gets limited due

to the hesitation of the citizens. These things thus result in reducing the possibilities of gathering
good and qualified data for understanding the reality of the crime properly via made complaints
(Boushey, 2016).
For consolidating statistic on criminality and violence, the administration of the
dimensions of criminal justice system plays a very significant role. According to the integrated
perspective for addressing an issue the numerous sources are desired to accompaniment with one
and other. Other areas like the statistics of health basically dealing with that of deaths and
external affairs as well as the information taken out from the spheres of criminal justice like the
office of the public prosecutor, the defender office of criminals as well as the court of justice.
Even after all these things, these developments or the process has not been able to get a
place in the entire region and in all the cases this is due to reluctance of the institutions along
with it the strategic natured information, which limits the enhancement of the coordinated actions
and the possible interactions of the institution (Welsh & Harris, 2016).
Research of Criminal justice which supports policy
of the community
Allocation of the police officers are made in the press named the community policy
which are made in the varied areas where they are presumed to combined with the inhabitants so
that they can get acquainted and assimilated with the local people of the areas. This things are
done typically by using the statistical data or the facts which reflects that the enforcers of the
laws and regulations are not in touch with the citizens and this forces them to make and not to
make the approximate reports of the criminality within them (Skogan, Van Craen, & Hennessy,
2015).

This incorporation of the community with the society as a whole gives the experience or
the sense of ownership which provides obligation of making surety in relation get assured that
the civilization is protected and secured by the means of the broadcasting system against the
people who are breaching the legislations. This ultimately makes the officers or gives capacity to
the police to capture the criminals as soon as possible.
Several difficulties are presented by the registered police systems due to criminal
statistics. The first one amongst them is that there are a huge number crimes which are not even
entered in this system as they are not reported due to their being highly sensitive regarding
certain facts. Due to the facts that there are so many stages in the constructive process of the
information system based on criminality and violence and it also requires too much of effort for
consolidating them for different states and cities of a nation (Trinkner, Tyler, & Goff, 2016).
So in this manner the institutions of the police may continue to maintain their dominance
over the information regarding the probable criminal facts. Their strategic nature is the main or
the basic reason for this and as they are the part of the police planning system they could work
and input their intelligence within. All these factors needs to meet certain levels or limits of
transparency within them. Certain restrictions must also be imposed upon these information
because sometimes they may also become a matter of sensitivity regarding the police entity
functioning or any other competent authorities (Mastrofski, Jonathan-Zamir, Moyal, & Willis,
2016).

Criminal justice research supporting the
community engagements
These entities are linked directly with the criminal justice systems and carries out the
work of assimilating and structuring material in relation to the crimes in harmony with the
procedures of crimes. In this way all the particular officers in accordance with the reformative
procedures of the crime consolidated throughout the nation start up with managing information
on all the aspects concerning with functioning of the system along with the criminal acts
(Rodriguez, 2018).
The nongovernmental articles also have a role in disseminating or articulating those
official information which are released by the units of the public. Many amongst them tries to
accumulate and schematize the basic data that cannot be made available directly. This portion
thus imitates those limitations which are there in existence upon the delivering of such
information by the responsible public institutions which may be due to the difficulties in the
technology and lack of disseminating interest (Anitha & Lewis, 2018).
Thus the statistical data on the criminal justice system contains all those data which
reflects the rules and implemented acts which are not found in accordance with the demands or
desires of the culture and society as whole. The facelift of rules and agendas are involved here in
it for becoming successful in community and societal services. The essential information used
for influential the efficient close at which the consequences are to be imposed for violating any
law. This information thus shows that whether the administered penalty are efficient and
justiciable for the culprits who had committed the crime or not (Nguyen, 2019).

Conclusion
Thus it can be concluded that the statistical data related with the criminal justice system
are really very important for attaining the details of the offenders in form of their demographic
localities and genders. This can also be related with the average number of the convicts. These
evidences will helps the authority to gain information that in which locality the amount
uncertainty is in elevation and which sex of the society is highly involved or engaged with the
criminal activities. Upon analyzing these information properly the agencies of the government
come up with such programs which helps in overcoming these adverse trends in the future. This
also helps in reducing the levels of crimes and all the other criminal activities.
