The main purpose of Criminal Justice system is to protect society against criminal and law breakers and the social defence refers to the protection of society against crime and deviance. Thus, the main objective of both the system is to prevent crime, maintain law and social order, rehabilitation of offender etc. Further, both the system implies not only the prevention of crime, but also rehabilitation and treatment of offenders through institutional and non-institutional services. And as an essential part of law enforcement agency, the police have four fundamental responsibilities towards the public and society in general, which are enforcing laws, preventing crime, responding emergencies and providing support system. Further, the police have an important responsibility to investigate crime fairly towards the Criminal Justice System.
