Discussion
There are several learning outcomes that need to be realized at the end of the BASCJ program. The learning outcome that I identified for this essay is analyzing criminal justice issues within the systems of law enforcement, the judiciary, and corrections. The program will enable me to have a greater understanding into some of the issues that affect the United States Justice System in the modern world. These are mainly issues that affect the ability by people to access justice, affect the ability by criminal justice professionals, and thereby hinder justice from being attained.
