According to the text, the criminal justice professional's goal in dealing with criminal justice is to serve the public interest by developing, advocating for, and implementing effective public policies.

True or False?

The answer is false

Explanation:

Criminal Justice Professional is a member of the arm of government that interprets the laws made by the legislators.

This responsibility of the judiciary is in contrast with serving public interest. In other words, the overriding aim of the criminal justice professional is implementation of justice. Ensuring that laws of the land does not leave a criminal unpunished.

If public interest is the main goal of the criminal justice professional, it means the interest of everyone including that of a criminal should be protected, which is absurd and inconsistent with justice, equity and fairness.

As the popular saying,"he who comes to equity must come with clean hands".
