This study looks into criminal justice as a study or application of laws concerning criminal behavior. There are different professionals involved in studying criminal justice such as the police and different legal practitioners. Criminal justice has the goal of ensuring fairness for the accused and the complainant. Consequently, Hinds and Murphy explains that justice is not only about ensuring a fair trial for the accused but it also seeks to ensure the just retribution to victims of crime. Although criminal justice seeks to ensure justice for all, this goal is not always achieved, due to flexibility in use of laws, changes in laws and the interpretation of law by the judiciary. There have been numerous researches conducted to assess the criminal justice system, its effectiveness in transforming criminals and how different parties are treated. The research was influenced by a realization that citizens have a problem complying with police orders. According to Myrstol and Hawk-Tourtelot, although the basic focus of a process-based model is on particular actions and strategies that police can adopt to improve the public judgment, the basis for this model is compliance. To the police, getting citizens to comply with their orders is a symbol of their effectiveness and the ability of police to discharge their mandate is pegged on citizens’ cooperation. The means that police use to achieve cooperation is a thorny issue with modern police being defined by their feature of using coercive force to get compliance. Myrstol and Hawk-Tourtelot (2011) explains that research has shown that this is not an effective way to gain cooperation and, therefore, this research strives to assess what other alternative strategies and actions can police use to get compliance from members of the public. The second problem addressed by the research stems from the perception held in the process-based model that argues that citizen cooperation is related to perceived legitimacy of the police and the resulting benefits or costs of non-compliance. Myrstol and Hawk-Tourtelot (2011) explained that people who feel that police have legitimate authority to arrest them have no problem with them dictating behavior and, therefore, obey because of the sense of duty and obligation. Furthermore, citizens’ cooperation is influenced by motive-based trust. This is described as the trust that citizens have on the police actions. are they motivated by good objectives and service for all? It is, therefore, critical to understand factors that enhance or reduce police legitimacy.
