In fact, economics is especially well suited for crime and criminal justice studies because economic principles can explain every part of the criminal justice system and many of the motivations behind criminal acts.
Criminals often make decisions based on newly acquired information (such as a potential mugger meeting a person with valuable jewelry) and may not have much time gather information before the opportunity disappears (the jewelry-wearing person walks away).
Some radical researchers propose that the criminal justice system is doomed to fail because as long as some crime exists in society capitalism will not receive the blame for problems like chronic unemployment and the growing gap between the rich and the poor.

While, to many peoples' way of thinking, citizen participation in government in general, and criminal justice in particular, has been poorly provided for, the grand jury surely stands as an example of classical attempts to involve citizens in the administration of criminal justice.
In theory, after all, the grand jury is a publicly constituted panel of a community's citizens whose job it is to act as an impartial overseer of the criminal justice apparatus.
Although it is a widespread criminal justice institution, grand jury students will also find their research efforts frustrated because it is similar throughout the United States only in its gross details.
