Thesis statement
Criminal justice and community is a topic within Criminal
Justice which is entitled in ensuring that citizens receive justice
from crimes that arise within a society. The topic is meant to
equip students in ways in which they can ensure justice prevails
within a society; that is, all offenders and defendants are
punished accordingly, within the justice system while the
innocent are left to be free.
Hypothesis
One of the best ways of ensuring there is criminal justice within
any society is by coming with rules and regulations that govern

2. the society. Laws can be classified into two, that is, public law
and private law whereby public law will involve matters that
always affect a society as a whole while private laws also
known as civil laws deals with relationships between or among
people. With introduction of these laws and regulations there
will be a solution towards criminal justice and community
which is seen in the various importance of having laws within
any given society. For instance, laws are to regulate or totally
change the behavior of individuals of a society; this is as a
result of the consequences associated with the breaking of any
law established by the government or people of a community.
Other than that, it is very common to observe arguments and
disputes within every society where people are present. Even
though, it is important to know that these issues or disputes that
arise will always be solved by law which provides the
guidelines to be followed in order to arrive into an agreement.
Lastly, laws will ensure fairness within a society since the
people concerned with solving crime issues within a society will
always tend to lean on the laws that provide ways in which a
case should be judged thus ending up into fairness to all
individuals. To sum up, introduction of laws will ensure there is
criminal justice in every society.
Measurement and analysis approach
The key points to be addressed in this research will include the
top most crimes carried by the people of the society; the top
most being the issue of murder. Murder has become a very big
problem within the society which being attributed to be as a
result of greed and jealousy among the people of the society
(Grisham 2006). In addition, murder also results in places of
riots whereby the police officers or any other government
authority in charge of crimes may shoot into to the air to
disperse the crowd thus resulting into death of some innocent
citizens. Another key issue is the issue of drug taking and drug
trafficking as well as the underage alcohol taking, which has
been mostly observed to affect most of the teenagers and also
the youths in most institutions of higher learning. Theft and

3. burglary by the people, who mostly target cars and also house
hold items, is another common kind of crime committed by
people within a society. Lack of employment alongside other
minor reasons has been identified to be the major cause of theft
and burglary.
Data collection and analysis concerning issues of murder are
collected in various hospitals as well as the Uniform Crime
Reporting program of the FBI which identifies the cause of
murder of individuals. Concerning issues of theft and burglary,
most data information and analysis is obtained from police
officers in various police stations or in any government
authority concerned with crime in societies. Data analysis and
collection on drugs will be obtained in the various Anti-drug
abuse movements and societies within the country.
Even though technology has brought various advantages, it has
also led to increase of crime issues which have led to increase
of crime within societies. For instance, various theft crimes
occurring in houses happen yet in most cases the owners of the
houses will have always locked their houses using various
secure means. Such cases can only be attributed to technology
whereby a thug can be able to break into ones house despite of
the security measures one may have put in place.
Applicable resources
Human welfare and moral worth (Thomas 2002) develops the
Kantian moral philosophy which gives basic concepts on aspects
on human welfare as well as the moral worth. Culture,
citizenship and community (Carens 2000) give a contextual
approach to cases which will show why the understanding of
justice as neutrality needs to be supplemented. Crime, fear and
the law in true crime stories (Biressi 2001) gives an
examination of historical genesis of crime and their
development as well as exploring current law and order.
Policing and punishing in London (Beattie 2001) outlines the
analysis of the changing forms of policing and prosecution that
influences all levels of the government. Encyclopedia of street
crime in America (Jeffery 2013) explores the origin and

4. implications of street crimes on the society in general.
