5998591387042THE TASK
Difficult balances exist at the police and court phases of the criminal justice process. The extent to which decisions made and outcomes reached successfully achieve the right balance is open to debate.
This task requires you to think about the difficulties encountered when institutions of the criminal justice system (CJS) attempt to meet the needs of victims and those accused of crimes, as well as the community. As criminologists, it is important for us to consider whether the needs of all parties involved can realistically ever be met, whether they should be, and how the system (and those within it) can best manage competing expectations and desires when aiming for justice.
This task requires students to choose a recent Australian crime-related problem/issue reported in the media that brings these difficulties into focus. Choose an Australian news media report/article about a crime-related incident and summarise the issues encountered by either police OR the courts in reaching a decision about how to respond, while attempting to balance the needs and expectations of victims, offenders, and the community within the Australian CJS.

1.
8685153045777You must choose an Australian news media report (print or online) that describes a criminal
case/event/incident that involves either the police OR the courts and provides insight into the issues encountered by these institutions when reaching a decision about how to respond to an alleged crime or sentence an offender in the Australian CJS.
