There are various types of criminal justice organizations such as correctional facilities, police organizations, courts of law, and offices of law.

All these criminal justice organizations do not get along peacefully. Corrections professionals get frustrated when the district attorney's office over criminalizes one offense or the other in an election year.

Police often accuse corrections personnel of being bleeding hearts. The courts often think the police are too arrogant to follow rules and procedures. Of all the corrections professions, Probation officers are probably the best well-rounded employees of the criminal justice system because they are trained in court work, corrections, and police work.

How do you think courts of law perceive their power in comparison with police organizations? Provide suggestions that would help level out the power inequality between different criminal justice organizations.
