Q 1. What is meant by a "balanced approach" to understanding criminal justice? Why is such an approach an effective way to understanding criminal justice?
The “Balanced Approach” for understanding criminal justice simply elaborates an alternative philosophy requiring various juvenile justice professionals to devote proper attention and also allowing the offenders to establish certain amendments to their victims as well as community. Moreover, it can be said that a balanced approach is something that is completely based on an understanding of crime as an illegal act against the victim as well as the community. This is mostly considered as an understanding over the concept of crime caused against the victim as well as the individual community (Bazemore, 1997).
