BASIC VALUES IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
Underlying values are those that are not openly proclaimed but that nevertheless govern actions within the criminal justice system. Efficiency, or expeditious handling of cases, is one such value that may conflict with the value of equal justice under law
Underlying values are harder to understand and distinguish than professed values, and they require lengthier and more intense study
The values of any system of justice may be classified as professed values and underlying values.
Professed values are those that are proclaimed as values by the participants in the system.
For example,
TO DEAL WITH TRANSNATIONAL CRIME
A good reason to study criminal justice from a comparative perspective is the increasing need to address transnational and international crime problems. These problems have now become imperative because the multicultural world we now live n has entered the stage of globalization.
If we wish to serve justice well, whether it be for crimes committed within our borders or in another region of the world, international cooperation is an essential ingredient. Without international cooperation we cannot find, extradite, or serve justice on those who violate laws and cause pain and suffering throughout the world.
PRACTICAL APROACH
- To benefit from the experience of others;
- To broaden our understanding of different cultures and approaches to problems;
- To help us deal with the many transnational crime problems that plague our world today
Examples of transnational crimes include:
Human Trafficking
People smuggling
Smuggling / Trafficking of goods namely: arms and drug trafficking, illegal animal and plant products and other goods prohibited on environmental grounds (eg: banned ozone depleting substances), sex slavery, terrorism offences … and more
- Namibia

The values of any system of justice may be classified as professed values and underlying values.
Professed values are those that are proclaimed as values by the participants in the system.
For example,
- Equal justice under law
- The ideal that all individuals, regardless of social media status or background,
- Should be treated equally and according to an existing rule is a professed value of most established systems of justice.
- In the British and American Systems of justice, another professed value is that the government has an obligation to prove an individual’s guilt without any requirement that the individual cooperate with the prosecution. This Value lies at the heart of the adversary process.
