This approach provides information about past successes and failures and prepares us for change in the future.

This approach identifies the main components and actors of a criminal justice system and describes how they are supposed to operate.

This approach helps one understand how politics affect a nation’s justice system and interaction among nations.



Distinguish, with examples, the functions/procedures and the institutions/actors strategies

With this strategy, the emphasis is on understanding the job to be done rather than highlighting the position of the person doing the job. An example is the procedure used for pretrial detention in various countries.

With this strategy the focus is on the operation of criminal justice agencies and their employees as a way to identify similarities and differences across countries. An example is comparing the way countries organize their police force and the duties of their police officers.



Summarize and distinguish the synthetic and authentic classification strategies

Classification Strategies1.5

Authentic Strategy

When classification follows this strategy one gets artificial groups based on only a few aspects of the object.

When classification follows this strategy one gets natural groups based on extensive study of the object.

The result is a practical classification that bring order to diversity.

The result allows for prediction regarding the group’s members
