Criminal Justice System of Pakistan

The study of crimes is named as Criminology and the study of the agencies that control or respond to crime is called Criminal Justice (CJ). The US has a rich tradition in the production of Criminal Justice knowledge, and offers distinct degree programs.

The criminal justice system of Pakistan may be divided into five components:  

  1. Police
  2. Prosecution
  3. Courts
  4. Prisons
  5. Corrections

Police

According to the Oxford Handbook on Criminology, the police is an organization, whereas policing is the function of preventing and detecting crime.

Prosecution 

The function of the prosecution is to evaluate the evidence collected by the police, and to filter the quality and quantity of cases to be sent up for trial.

Judiciary (Courts) 

 The judiciary of Pakistan is a categorized system with two classes of courts: the superior (or higher) judiciary and the subordinate (or lower) judiciary. The superior judiciary is composed of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the Federal Shariat Court and five High Courts, with the Supreme Court at the apex.

 There is a High Court for each of the four provinces as well as a High Court for the Islamabad Capital Territory. The Constitution of Pakistan entrusts the superior judiciary with the obligation to preserve, protect and defend the constitution. The Azad Kashmir has separate judiciary

Prisons

Prisons work as an attached department to the Home Departments of the provinces. Maintaining an incarceration-based prison system is a very expensive project for any economy.

Corrections

“…services and programs aimed at correcting the criminal conduct of the Prisoners in order to rehabilitate and integrate them in the society"

DESPERATE POVERTY

Poverty Desperate A WEEK prior, Mirpurkhas-local Ahsan Jarwar was discovered hanging from a roof inside his home. As per occupants, the deceased father of six had been confronting extraordinary strain to make a decent living and accommodate his family. Under the heaviness of his conditions, combined with misery, Jarwar ended his own life. While we can't state with assurance what was experiencing his brain in his last hours, this is a natural disaster that we catch wind of again and again: urgent neediness savagely holds onto the lives, jobs and mental prosperity of innumerable residents.

For quite a long time, progressive governments have neglected to manufacture better wellbeing foundations or guarantee more noteworthy social assurance measures for the most defenseless gatherings. Presently, amidst the novel coronavirus pandemic, mon...
