Crime and Justice refers to the interconnected fields that examine the definition of crime, the nature of criminal behavior, the legal processes that address crime, and the societal responses to crime. “Crime” encompasses any act that violates laws established by a governing authority, which can range from minor offenses to serious felonies. “Justice” pertains to the concept of moral fairness in the enforcement of laws and the administration of penalties, as well as the systems put in place to uphold legal standards, protect the public, and rehabilitate offenders.
