About this subject
This subject was previously known as Police, Courts and Criminal Law. Police, Courts and Corrections explains the processes that govern the way crimes are investigated, tried, and punished. The subject begins with an overview of the aims and functions of the criminal justice system with consideration for the laws and justice principles that underpin it. It then examines the roles and functions of the police, courts and corrective services and the process through which a criminal case progresses through the system, concluding with some reflections on alternatives to traditional practice. Throughout this course, consideration is given to understanding the powers, responsibilities and accountabilities of key criminal justice actors as well as the application of justice principles within the system. The subject particularly references the Queensland criminal justice system, however general principles are common to all Australian systems.
