Themes and Challenges

[kristieevans]

Hey guys,

Would someone please give me a hand in explaining some of the things to do with themes and challenges for crime and what exactly they mean? They've come up in class a fair bit but I'm kind of confused as to the meaning.

These are the ones for crime:
• the role of discretion in the criminal justice system
• issues of compliance and non-compliance in regard to criminal law
• the extent to which law reflects moral and ethical standards
• the role of law reform in the criminal justice system
• the extent to which the law balances the rights of victims, offenders and society
• the effectiveness of legal and non-legal measures in achieving justice.

Thanks!
