Exam Content
The criminal justice system is developed through public policy, which ensures a variety of checks and balances for all parties involved in a criminal justice case. You will demonstrate your understanding of due process and illustrate how it is applicable throughout the different subdomains of the criminal justice system.
As a victim’s advocate, you will assist victims of crime or their families by guiding them through criminal justice proceedings. In situations where you must explain a defendant’s right to due process, a clear understanding of the adjudication process will help you properly serve your clients.
