Social Justice Through Criminal Justice

Examine the laws discussed in Chapter 9, which protect individual freedoms and the implementation of criminal justice policies. Provide at least three examples of how the U.S. criminal justice system simultaneously advances notions of social justice, while also protecting the rights of the accused. Can the criminal justice system be more effective in advancing notions of social justice? How?

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7, and use your previous course work and your personal experiences to either support or question your classmates’ positions. Your response should be 100 words, at minimum, and should build on your classmates’ ideas of more effectively achieving social justice goals.
