Explain how the three agencies of the criminal justice system function independently of one another and how they are also dependent on one another.
What will be an ideal response?
Key points should include that each agency has independent operations,
regulations, and purposes. Each agency is responsible for a different function in the
system. In regards to their dependence on one another, key points should include that
each agency depends on the decisions of the other agencies. For example, the courts
depend on the decisions of the police which determine their caseload and evidence.
The corrections rely on the decision of the courts to incarcerate offenders.
