Please answer questions: Overview: Provide an overview study ( -write abstract; words). Confidence in the criminal justice system, by David Indermaur and Lynne Roberts Indermaur and Roberts (2009) commence by arguing the importance of the judicial system within any country, especially a developed one, where there is ongoing pressure to improve the quality of the criminal justice system.

Throughout the past recent years then, various efforts have been made across the countries to reform and modernize the criminal justice system. The two authors as such strive to analyze these efforts and conclude on their effectiveness, based on the analysis of the confidence revealed by the people in the criminal justice system. In this examination, emphasis is placed on the reforms implemented in the UK and the confidence of the people in the criminal justice system in Australia.

The approach to the study is a quantitative once since the assessment integrated facts and figures from the society, rather than opinions and assumptions based on observations. The findings are as such supported by statistically processed data, meaning that the results are unbiased and relevant. The method employed in the completion of this study was represented by the survey method, which reveals a series of advantages. For instance, it allows the researchers to quickly and efficiently collect vast information, from a wide palette of individuals in a selected sample.

Then, it produces statistical information which can easily be processed to lead to clear and cut findings. In the case of the current project, the two researchers utilized the Australian Survey of Social Attitudes, which is a biennial mail-out survey conducted by the Australian Institute of Criminology, and assessing a series of variables.

The study was conducted on 8,133 adults throughout all Australia and it revolved around three variables: the confidence of the population in the police, the confidence of the population in courts and the confidence of the population in prisons. The survey was completed in three versions and the response rates were between 39 and 42 per cent. The data had been weighted by education in order to create national estimates and the dataset for the analysis was provided by the Australian National University (Indermaur and Roberts, 2009).

The study findings are integrated in three categories, based on the findings for each of the three assessed variables. In this specific order of ideas: The confidence of the population in the police is relatively high in terms of crime solving (74 per cent), fairly acting (74 per cent) and to respond quickly when a crime occurs (54 per cent). The confidence of the population in the police's ability to prevent crime is however decreased, of only 48 per cent.

The opinions regarding the corruption among the police varied, with nearly half of the respondents being unable to decide, and the other half equally divided between people who believed the police was corrupt and those who did not believe this. The confidence in the courts was decreased in terms of the ability of the system to quickly solve matters (22 per cent) and its perceived ability to deal with matters fairly was assessed at 52 per cent.

The people believe that the courts tend to be more favorable towards the defendants (70 per cent), than the victims (47 per cent). Last, the confidence in the prisons across Australia, the respondents revealed low levels of confidence that the system had the ability to punish crimes (59 per cent), to teach prisoners new skills (68 per cent), to deter future criminal behavior (85 per cent) or to rehabilitate the prisoners (88 per cent). Across the entire Australian crime justice system, the levels of population confidence vary.

What has been found by Indermaur and Roberts is that the people tend to share similar opinions across different components of the criminal justice system. This virtually means that people differentiate between the various constructs (police, prisons and courts), but tend to reveal an integrated perception towards the overall criminal justice system. The main threat of the current research is represented by the volatility of the data collected.

Specifically, the data was collected and processed with quantitative tools, which increases the relevance of the findings, yet the threat resides in the.
