Using our readings please develop a comprehensive criminal justice system using what you thought the best practices were from any of our readings. You need to include as many aspects of the criminal justice system as you can (police, corrections, courts, counseling, and specific issues such as body worn cameras or capital punishment). Please do not do any outside research and limit your response to the course material. Please cite your sources.

It is important to not undervalue how intricate the function of the police is in maintaining the law. To uphold the rule of law, security, and peace, the police are tasked with a wide range of duties. Although the type, quality, and underlying concept of the law vary between countries, police are generally granted broad authority to implement the law and play a significant part in the criminal justice system. The police are direct implements of policy and extensions of ministerial authority in several nations. They play a more independent function in other situations. In any scenario, the police must answer for how they use the authority granted to them.
e indicated that the withdrawal of foreign troops is a nonnegotiable demand, they still preferred to keep some foreign presence because of the ongoing threat of attacks from other Islamic groups18.
Officials warned the President that removing 7,000 troops would result in negative consequences by giving the extremist groups a space to plan against the U.S. and its allies. Army General Austin Miller, the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, has expressed that the continued mission in Afghanistan is crucial to protecting U.S. security19. Additionally, removing half of the armed force from Afghanistan could be dangerous if the remaining troops who were spread too thin or short staffed. The Taliban could see this as a weakness and forcibly depose of the rest in a surprise attack. In contrast, supporters of this strategy argue that the “security in the country is deteriorating, despite the existing U.S. military presence there”20. From an economic standpoint, this option seems like a clear winner – less U.S resources in Afghanistan, less money spent abroad, and less time involved in other countries’ domestic issues. However, I would argue the United States has a heightened obligation to ensure peace in Afghanistan and leaving, would undoubtedly lead to more conflict in the future.
Instead of removing all of the troops at once, a more effective method would be to strategically remove them over a period of time, and, in parallel, bring in other organizations like the United Nations to help reconstruct Afghanistan. Post-conflict reconstruction is holistic and multidimensional effort to simultaneously improve military (restoration of law and order), politics (governance), economy (rehabilitation and development) and social condition (justice and reconciliation)21. If the United States put more effort in improving the economic dimension of reconstruction, I believe there will be more meaningful progress. Projects which involves restoring physical infrastructure and facilities, establishing of social services, creating the private sector and implementing structural growth are ways in which a country can build a foundation that is not rooted in corruption and violence.
Taking into consideration Afghanistan’s strategic geographic location and natural resour
