Criminal Justice
Our system of justice was designed carefully to prevent people from being unfairly convicted by guaranteeing many legal rights to anyone charged with a crime. For example, you have a right to have a lawyer present during police questioning. You have the right to remain silent to avoid incriminating yourself, which means that you do not have to answer any questions asked by police, and do not have to give evidence at trial. Just being aware of these rights will help you if you ever become involved in the criminal justice system. This chapter discusses those rights, provides you with a basic understanding of the steps in the criminal justice system, and suggests where you can look for more help. It also provides information on the role of other people involved in the criminal justice system—victims, witnesses, and the jury.
