Criminal Justice Questions and Answers
Already Passed
What is the primary function of the criminal justice system?


✔✔ The primary function is to maintain social order by enforcing laws, adjudicating criminal

offenses, and ensuring justice through the prosecution, defense, and sentencing processes.




How does the concept of "due process" impact criminal proceedings?


✔✔ Due process ensures that individuals are afforded fair treatment and legal protections

throughout the criminal justice process, including the right to a fair trial, legal representation, and

protection against self-incrimination.




What are the main components of the criminal justice system?


✔✔ The main components include law enforcement, the judiciary, and corrections. Each plays a

distinct role in preventing crime, adjudicating offenders, and rehabilitating or punishing those

convicted.




How does the principle of "innocent until proven guilty" function in criminal law?


✔✔ This principle means that an individual is presumed innocent until the prosecution proves

their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, ensuring that the burden of proof lies with the state.

, What role does plea bargaining play in the criminal justice system?


✔✔ Plea bargaining allows defendants to agree to a lesser charge or reduced sentence in

exchange for a guilty plea, which can help expedite cases and reduce court congestion.




How do "aggravating" and "mitigating" factors influence sentencing?


✔✔ Aggravating factors can lead to harsher sentences by highlighting the severity or culpability

of the crime, while mitigating factors can result in more lenient sentences by considering

circumstances that reduce the defendant’s blameworthiness.




What is the purpose of a grand jury in the criminal justice process?


✔✔ A grand jury reviews evidence presented by the prosecution to determine whether there is

enough basis to charge an individual with a crime and proceed to trial.




How does the "exclusionary rule" impact evidence collection in criminal cases?


✔✔ The exclusionary rule prevents the use of evidence obtained through illegal means or

violations of constitutional rights in court, ensuring that evidence is gathered lawfully.




What are the differences between "felonies" and "misdemeanors"?
