Deterrence theory will help improve the criminal Justice System. People may seem to be more afraid of getting caught. For example you drive along a road every day and see a police officer there sitting maybe clocking peoples speed, the next time you travel that road you automatically slow down fear he will be there. Knowing if you get caught you will get a ticket or some sort of punishment from the officer. Therefore you obey the law. Another example is half of all state prisoners were under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time of their offense therefore, it is unlikely that such persons are deterred by either the certainty or severity of punishment because of their temporary impaired capacity to consider pros and cons of their actions .(Christopher Mumola)

The rehabilitation theory will benefit the criminal justice system. Re offending offenders are costing tax payers about to 9.5 to 13 billion a year that could be used other places. To benefit the system we need to give them proper and adequate training after release. We need to let offenders know and make help available to them to benefit in the long run. The help of finding them work and not to just release them and say we are done good luck. We need to offer programs for the younger generation to prevent committing crimes.

Reformation will benefit the criminal justice system. To be able to offer the needs to offenders in and out of prisoners will cut down on the cost to tax payers and over crowding in prisons. We as the tax payers may need to help furnish programs to be offered according to the crime

Social incapacitation would benefit the criminal justice system if we can keep people out of the area where crime is high they are not as easy to commit the crime. The offender has no choice sometime where they live when released because they have nothing.
