To adequately institute ideal criminal justice policy on any level within the system, theorists must predict future conditions despite interrupting events and identify a preferred set of choices. Ideal criminal justice policy should create an acceptable outcome and implement a positive condition for all involved. Consider the subjective influence of current events on criminal justice policymaking. How have current social justice organizations had a dramatic influence on the institution of police reform? Have such influences been dynamic or impeding?
