The justice system refers to the set of institutions, processes, and rules that a society uses to maintain social order, enforce laws, and resolve disputes. It encompasses various components, including law enforcement agencies (such as police), the judiciary (courts and judges), and correctional institutions (prisons and rehabilitation facilities). The primary aim of the justice system is to ensure that laws are applied fairly and impartially, to uphold individual rights, and to administer punishment or rehabilitation to those who violate the law. The justice system also includes legal procedures and regulations governing how trials are conducted, how evidence is presented, and the rights of the accused and victims. It plays a crucial role in promoting social justice, protecting citizens, and providing mechanisms for redress and resolution of conflicts within society.
