FUTURE OF
CRIMINAL
JUSTICE

Future of Criminal Justice
• The criminal justice is the field that covers braoder range
of fields. In the dynamic world of private security, the role
and responsibility of protection officer is rapidly following
to the discriminating security environment (Mutua, 2015).
• In the following parts, various aspects of court are
discussed and critically examined. This paper states that
how the changes will be made in the private security,
privatization, as well as courts.

Private Security
• There are two major kinds of security, which a person may
get to increase the security.
• These two types are the private security and public
policing. The public police adopt the severe needs,
certification, as well as training.
• The government agencies, legislatures, and politics also
regulate them. Their major point to concern is security
and welfare of the public.
• The private service refers to the service provided by
private companies.

Private Security vs. Public Policing
• There are some differences between the public policing
and private security. The private security is better than
the public police is.
• The public policing are also often delayed by the controls
placed on them by politics as well as laws.
• The reason is that private security does not have the
restriction that public police do. They are capable to
emphasize on the work and perform the obligations with
more productivity (Pickett, et. al, 2018).

Privatisation
• In criminal justice, the privatization refers to the shift to
private ownership and control of criminal justice services.
• The criminal justice services are privatized because of the
reason that the government lacks resources to carry them
out.
• The Prison privatization is while the central government
or state government contracts with the non-government
third person to supervise and accomplish the jails.

Courts
• In USA, the court has its own procedure.
• It is expected that there will be paper-less court or people-
less court in the upcoming period.
• In near future, the techniques such as video conferencing
can be useful in the absence of witness, offender and expert.
