This chapter examines the key features of the criminal justice system (CJS) in England and Wales. It gives a brief account of some of the legislation that protects the general rights of UK citizens, such as the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Police and Criminal Evidence (PACE) Act 1984 Codes of Practice. In the UK, the concept of the CJS refers to the law and law enforcement, and deals with transgressions of the law. The chapter then explains the process of prosecutions, which could either be conducted by the police or the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). It details the principles of criminal liability, which involves the notions of actus reus and mens rea .
