discretionary decision making  

Definición

  • Modern criminal justice has evolved into a complex and loosely coordinated set of systems characterized by formality in rules and bureaucratization in organization. From a system composed of amateurs and extremely local and community-focused prior to the 18th century, criminal justice systems transformed into ones with significant growth in size, professionalism, and specialization.
