Keywords:
Comparative Analysis, Criminal Justice System, Pakistan, UK, Legal Frameworks, Judicial Processes, Police AccountabilityAbstract
The study aims to conduct comparative analysis of the criminal justice systems (CJSs) in Pakistan and UK which is primarily emphasizing legal frameworks, court processes, police accountability and fast tracking as well as also intends to examine similarities and differences between CJS in Pakistan and the UK assess the effectiveness of each system in dispensing justice and make suggestions for improvement based on best practices. The study has shown that Pakistan’s CJS is totally different from its British counterpart: for example, in terms of police checks and balances and also how quickly justice is dispensed. In a nutshell, the UK judiciary works better than all the other countries’ due to transparency it possesses unlike jurisdictions such as Pakistan suffering from corruption and delays for many reasons. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the need for strong legal frameworks; institutional reforms and global collaboration towards more effective and fairer CJSs. The suggestions entail building up court infrastructure to promote accountability by police as well as enlightening general citizenry on law. Most importantly, this evaluation is an indispensable resource for policymakers, practitioners or academicians who seek to have a better comprehension or enhance different CJSs.
