A range of factors are believed to "cause" crime, including: economic hardship; social disadvantage; sexual abuse; alcohol and drug use; and psychological characteristics, including mental illness. The aims of the criminal justice system are similarly diverse, and include: community protection; specific deterrence; general deterrence; denunciation; retribution; and rehabilitation. This paper looks at the following aspects of the criminal justice system: community perceptions of crime and safety; offender rates and characteristics; crime rates; victims; measures of police effectiveness; courts (including bail and sentencing outcomes); recidivism; corrections (including prison population levels); and expenditure on the criminal justice system. By undertaking this empirical enquiry, the paper seeks to assist in identifying whether legislative and policy reforms to crime and justice are effective in achieving their stated objectives.
