The county government is concerned that the local criminal justice system is not prepared to handle the numerous issues associated with a rapidly growing aging population. A criminal justice task force has been assembled and you have been appointed as the Chair. The task force is specifically charged to examine the extent to which law enforcement, courts, and corrections is currently positioned to meet the needs of older adults.
Choose one component of the criminal justice system (law enforcement, courts, or corrections).
Provide a scholarly essay that describes the approach the task force should take in conducting a review of that component of the criminal justice system. What are the issues/processes the task force would need to examine to determine whether the unique needs of older adults are currently being met?
