Explain why decision making in the criminal justice process is not entirely interdependent

What will be an ideal response?


First, criminal justice agencies have a lot of independence. They get their authority and their budgets from different sources. Police departments get their power and money from cities and towns. Sheriff's departments, prosecutors, public defenders, jails, and trial courts get their power and money from counties. Appeals courts and prisons get theirs from states. Second, agencies set their own policies and rarely, if ever, coordinate their policies with those of other agencies. And most professionals within these agencies do not even think about the effects of their decisions on other agencies.
