Criminal procedure, also called the criminal process or the criminal justice system, is the mechanism thought which crimes are investigated, the guilt of criminals adjudicated, and punishment imposed. It includes the police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and courts, the practices and procedures observed by them, and legal rules that govern them. In the criminal process an individual is pitted against the government, with all of its resources and authority, and only through the criminal process can the state’s most serious sanctions – imprisonment or even death – be applied.
Criminal law defines what conduct is criminal and prescribes the punishment for criminal conduct. Criminal procedure makes the criminal law work; the sanctions defined by criminal law are only effective because the criminal process can bring the sanctions to bear on individuals who violate the law. At the same time, criminal procedure aims to make sure that criminal sanctions are applied only to those who are guilty, and only through procedures that are recognized as fair. One goal of the criminal process is to punish the guilty, but other goals are to protect the innocent and to ensure that even the guilty are protected from abuse by the government.
Although we talk about “the” criminal process, different systems are in place in each state and in the federal courts.
Contemporary art and the media, in turn, also contribute to the deterioration of the moral situation, placing an excessive emphasis on hedonism, activating exclusively human consumer instincts for the sake of the economic interests of show business. At one time, L.S. Vygotsky was absolutely correct in pointing out the natural consequences of such a policy: “There is no more sure way to push a child to any negative act than to describe the latter in detail” Modern society actualizes the problem of spiritual and moral education of young people, postulating it as the most important strategic task and the guarantor of planetary security. This is primarily due to the deterioration of the moral culture of society, the growth of its criminality, alcoholization and drug addiction of the population, sexual promiscuity, and so on.
