Introduction
It is no secret that culture and the criminal justice system have an inextricable connection in terms of interaction and mutual influence on each other. As practice shows, modern society tends to have natural improvement and development, as well as the number of laws in the aggregate, increasing to a staggering extent. The process of transition to an industrial society fits vividly into the example of illustrating this phenomenon (Weldon, 2021). Industrialization, from the point of view of a large-scale restructuring of the economy, the growth of dynamism of relations, and public life, is the most prominent example of transforming the criminal justice system to reflect changing cultural beliefs.
Supporting the Answer
Reflecting entirely progressive cultural values, industrialization has led to the emergence of a wide range of crime trends and areas. The consequences of this moment have been preserved to date and are actively used in criminal justice in several countries (Weldon, 2021). For instance, there was a system of penalties for violating traffic rules or conducting complex financial manipulations, including with the help of technologies.
Despite the desire of some people to maximize the benefits of innovative solutions, industrialization further demonstrated a wide gap between the poor and rich, which led to new laws in the property field. The formation of the modern criminal justice system primarily appeals to the triangulated relationship between prison, police, and classes (Matthews, 2020). “Dangerous” classes led to an urgent revision of laws and reforms that could identify and eradicate crimes in time.
The evolution of criminal law and the police is essentially “obliged” to the growth of crime due to the mass relocation of rural citizens to large cities for large incomes to factories and factories during industrialization. Indeed, there are many cases of how and when changing societal and cultural values during the accelerated industrial capacity-building period contributed to a shift in the criminal law system. However, these examples are enough for a general understanding of the picture of the situation.
Conclusion
Summarizing the above, it is necessary to state that industrialization is one of the cases that led to radical changes and shifts in the criminal justice system. Thus, industrial and innovative progress, a deep gap between the poor and the rich, and much more led to a more significant number of crimes that urgently needed to be responded to. Therefore, the transformations in laws and reforms undertaken then are particularly important today.
