All rights d by higher al criminal justice wikipedia, the free to: navigation, national criminal justice association (ncja) is a washington, d. The organization primarily works as a public policy liaison that promotes understanding of the best criminal justice practices between federal and state governments. Ncja's positions on criminal justice policy, as approved by the ncja advisory council, are posted on their official website.

Ncja believes that the safety and security of the public, and of the public's constitutional protections are fundamental to the american criminal justice system. System-wide planning and information sharing, as well as constant assessments and evaluation of information technology are necessary for the effective operation of the criminal justice system. Adequate funding that is used effectively is also seen as essential for the attainment of efficient and effective homeland security, public safety and criminal sing fear and violence in communities[edit]. Critical to appropriate strategies to combat community violence, according to ncja, are accurate reporting of crime and analysis of actual crime trends; trust and confidence in the criminal justice system achieved by quickly addressing criminal problems with well trained personnel; and informing victims and witness about law enforcement and prosecution sing prison overcrowding[edit].

Ncja say that while prisons are necessary components of the criminal justice system, alternative sentencing options are important for relieving prison overcrowding, especially for non-violent offenders. Ncja believes that crime victims must be treated with fairness, respect and dignity, and have any further harm from their involvement in the justice system victims should have guaranteed rights, including "the right to privacy, to protection from intimidation, to case status information, to recovery of reasonable reparation, and to due process within justice proceedings. Juvenile justice practices should strengthen families, support core social institutions, provide strategic investments for proven prevention strategies, and should be able to effectively intervene when delinquency occurs. Adequate resources must also be present for juvenile justice programs to be l funding strategies[edit].

Ncja say that federal funds in criminal justice, primarily distributed by the department of justice, the department of homeland security, the department of health and human services and other executive agencies help to assure the public that criminal justice problems are being addressed. However, the use of the criminal justice system to combat use of drugs should be used as a "societal response of last resort. 5] government and other policy makers should collaborate to find the most appropriate criminal justice er re-entry[edit]. To the ncja there is a critical need for all public safety agencies to collect, analyze, and share information involving criminal justice data and trends.

Agencies that operate independent of one another can have a detrimental effect on the justice ments in technology should also adhere to federal and state standards, especially the national information exchange model and global information sharing use of technology should not affect the rights and privacy of individuals, and confidentiality of records should be disparity in the criminal justice system[edit]. Ncja believe that the over-representation of victims of color and under-representation of minority professionals employed within the criminal justice system are issues that need to be addressed and present significant challenges for the justice system. Criminal justice professionals should strive to have administration be representative of the population they serve, as well as work to seek out effective measures to reduce over-representation of minority victims and offenders in the criminal justice ly ill persons in the criminal justice system[edit]. Ncja states that prison systems are ill-equipped to address the problems and needs of inmates with mental recommendations to the justice system, the ncja says that "early identification and treatment, law enforcement and correctional officer training, provision of housing, adequate discharge medication amounts, and standardized assessment and diagnostic tools" are necessary for inmates who are mentally ill.

7] policy makers, law enforcement, and mental health providers should work together to determine what practices and methods of implementation are most effective in dealing with mentally ill nations and the criminal justice system[edit]. Ncja is an advocate for the respect of tribal justice systems and tribal nations’ sovereignty. Criminal justice and tribal justice systems should cooperate in matters of mutual concern, on an individual tribal basis, as appropriate. 8] governments should work with tribal governments based on their individual and cultural in criminal justice policy[edit].
