Introduction

The leader of the in Mexico has been arrested, read the headlines worldwide. The ring leaders of the massacre have been put behind bars. People marvel at such stories and happenings yet these are everyday occurrences in our society. Violence in the society has been pervasive ever since the old days in England and Europe as a whole. To deal with this problem, well organized regimes moved crime and punishment into the hands of members of the community who imposed fines as strategies of controlling these types of misconduct. Crimes in the society always take different shape and forms (Cavadino & Gibson, 2008). With the advance in technology, many scenes of well organized gangs are awash in the media each particular day. Given that the society that we live in contains people of diverse characters and personalities, there is bound to be diverse perceptions and behavior.

On the other hand, there is the natural urge to be at peace with one another. In the face of this diverse behavior, there need to be some general guidelines and principles of general public conduct for everybody in the society. This guideline should be accompanied by penalties for those in society who would in any time violate the said principles. This is referred to as the rules of peaceful co existence.

The guidelines became the set of rules and attracted penalties for non compliance. The punishment could take the form of execution, loss of liberty, government supervision or generally fines.

Each of the criminal justice system has its own culture and an independent decision making organ, both in relation to the government and between the various departments. They charge their duties and responsibilities in the mix of personal judgment, job training, the so and the working culture of the system itself (Cavadino & Gibson, 2008). This is usually against the backdrop of the laid down work ethics, the codes of conduct, instructions and the standing orders of the profession.
