Criminology Essay - The criminal justice system

If anyone has any spare time, I would greatly appreciate some advice on this essay question. I must complete this essay using 1500 words and i am struggling to find enough information. Thank you.
Discuss the extent to which the adversarial system can be said to be a myth. Draw on a range of aspects of the criminal justice system.

Do you have a brief plan that you can share?

I created a basic plan to breakdown what my paragraphs would consist of. Introdction (Basic definitons and summarising what will be discussed in my essay), Body and concluson (Rounding up the evidence and delivering a final verdict). With the body, i planned to identify where the adversarial system proved to deliver justice, and where it did not. I also wanted to be more specific towards which aspects of the criminal justice system (such as policing, presecution, jusdges and magistrates, juries, and procedural justice) the adversarial system had major and minor impact upon. i have found information which draws towards the negative side of the adversarial system, but i need to link it towards the criminal justice system. I am currently struggling to find information which proves the adversarial system does support the many aspects of the criminal justice system.

Hey Vueling,

You can draw insights from this journal article - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1365712719867972. There is a discussion on the impact of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 (CPIA 1996) and the Criminal Procedure Rules (CrimPR) from a defence lawyer’s point of view. Generally, the extent to which the adversarial system can be considered a myth depends on one's perspective. Some critics argue that the system is fundamentally flawed and does not adequately protect the rights of defendants or ensure that justice is served. For example, the journal article argues that the Criminal Procedure Rules (CrimPR) in England and Wales have consolidated many procedural rules, but have also put the acquittal of the innocent and conviction of the guilty at the heart of the Rules, which undermines the adversarial process.

Additionally, the use of plea bargains, which allow defendants to plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a lighter sentence, can also undermine the adversarial system by incentivizing defendants to plead guilty without fully exploring their legal options.

Other critics argue that the adversarial system is not always fair, particularly when it comes to the allocation of resources and power between the prosecution and defence. For example, the prosecution may have access to more resources and evidence than the defence, which can make it difficult for the defence to adequately represent their client.
