“Organizations pursue goals, but those are complex, multiple, and often conflicting” (Criminal Justice Organizations 5). In the Criminal Justice System in America, there are several different organizations that are in existence; all are different, these organizations do not have the exact same goals, and with all of these differing organizations there is a slight divergence in structure where some may be mechanistically based (bureaucratic/hierarchical) or organically based (professional/horizontal), size – some may be bigger or smaller, and so on and so forth. But yet all of them need to communicate (whether inter-organization, or with other organizations). Within an organization one of the key tools that they use is that of: communication. Communication is a primary key to any organization and without it there is no cohesion, no leadership, and no functionality. As communication begins to diminish, so does the organization – as one article puts it: “These new economic…. imperatives have significantly contributed to the demise of the old classic command-and-control bureaucracy…” (Tiernan et al, 2002, 47-48). From what this article states, the lack of communication has led to a semi-collapse of the mechanistic structure of an organization. Though communication does seem like a huge factor of an organization, communication does not come without its troubles within the inter-organizations; if there is communication going on in a company, there is going to also be a lack of communication. When a company has employed thousands of people (or maybe just a small amount) they are hiring a whole selection of individuals to work as whole group in unity – though this does seem like an amazing idea, these sets of individuals will have quite ... ... middle of paper ... ...anging. They rely primarily on communication, rules and regulations, and equality/fairness. Without these three things an organization will be severely lacking due to the lack of employee morale and cohesion within the workplace. Works Cited Bell, R., & Martin, J. (2012).

The human service model strives to integrate employees goals into organizational goals. However, it has such a reliance upon the most committed employees. These employees, therefore, must to accomplish job tasks and feel as though fulfilled in their distinctive roles within the criminal justice organizations. This model creates a much less centralized rules and bureaucracy as the supervisors and employees become part of a team governed by an agreement of purpose. Such agreement of purpose may appear to be blurred in terms of governance within the organization since it is in human nature to not wanting to share anything of values, especially money and power. Criminal justice organizations have multiple and sometimes conflicting goals. Those

The criminal justice system has been evolving since the first colonists came to America. At first, the colonists used a criminal justice system that mirrored those in England, France, and Holland. Slowly the French and Dutch influences faded away leaving what was considered the English common law system. The common law system was nothing more than a set of rules used to solve problems within the communities. This system was not based on laws or codes, but simply that of previous decisions handed down by judges. Although rudimentary, this common law system did make the distinction between misdemeanors and the more serious crimes known as felonies.

The criminal justice system in America is comprised of not just one but of a set of organizations and procedures that have been created by governments in order to mitigate crime and impose penalties for those people who choose to break the law. The United States has many individual criminal justice systems and each jurisdiction i.e. city, county, state, federal or tribal government or military has the ability to dictate how the system works as well as have different laws. With that being said, people in the United States rarely have contact with the criminal justice system and subsequently get much of their ideals and knowledge of what the criminal justice system is and how it works from the media, especially through entertainment television viewing.

The criminal justice system views any crime as a crime committed against the state and places much emphasis on retribution and paying back to the community, through time, fines or community work. Historically punishment has been a very public affair, which was once a key aspect of the punishment process, through the use of the stocks, dunking chair, pillory, and hangman’s noose, although in today’s society punishment has become a lot more private (Newburn, 2007). However it has been argued that although the debt against the state has been paid, the victim of the crime has been left with no legal input to seek adequate retribution from the offender, leaving the victim perhaps feeling unsatisfied with the criminal justice process.
