Introduction 

CRIMINOLOGY, it is the investigation of wrongdoing, similar to brain research is an investigation of the mind and social science is the investigation of society. The crime analysts' examination, investigate, research, and inform on every one of the angles concerning human conduct from the reason for wrongdoing to its outcomes. This investigation of criminology illuminates our comprehension of how, why, where and when wrongdoing happens and proposes the arrangements and the methodology to react likewise to forestall it. 

CRIMINAL JUSTICE, it is basically a use of criminology. Where criminology is the investigation of wrongdoing, criminal justice depicts the cultural reaction towards the wrongdoing. The criminal justice framework is involved numerous segments that authorize laws, examine wrongdoings, attempt, and rebuff hoodlums, and restore the individuals who are indicted. Criminal Justice is the cycle through which the state reacts to conduct that it considers inadmissible. Criminal Justice is conveyed through a progression of stages: charge; indictment; preliminary; sentence; request; discipline, these processes and the agencies which carry them out are referred to as the criminal justice system. “Law enforcement and criminal justice' means any activity pertaining to crime prevention, control, or reduction or the enforcement of criminal law, including, but not limited to, police efforts to prevent, control, or reduce crime or to apprehend criminals, activities of courts having criminal jurisdiction and related agencies (including prosecutorial and defender service), activities of corrections, probation, or parole officers, and programs relating to the prevention, control or reduction of juvenile delinquency or narcotic addiction."

While criminal justice contemplates the law implementation framework and activities, criminology centres around the sociological and mental practices of hoodlums to decide why they carry out wrongdoings. Criminology and criminal justice both arrangement with crooks and law requirements. That is nearly where their similitudes end. Criminal justice manages all parts of wrongdoing from the time the wrongdoing is carried out until the criminal is seen as liable and shipped off jail. Criminology bargains less with the genuine wrongdoing yet rather on why it occurred. What caused the criminal to do what the person in question did? Criminology is basically the same as a social science in that it centres around investigating criminal's personalities to realize what causes them to carry out wrongdoings and how to forestall them later. Criminal justice simply manages what to do after the wrongdoing is carried out.

Dilemmas In Criminology and Criminal Justice

Moral or good quandaries emerge when there is an irreconcilable situation between at least two objectives. In such circumstances, complying with one good or moral basic naturally implies defying another. In the field of criminal justice, cops, judges, safeguard lawyers, and examiners are managing predicaments consistently since they could choose who ought to be explored, arraigned, and condemned, just as what the discipline might be. Also, under the law, they are ordered to give equivalent treatment to all residents paying little mind to the seriousness of the wrongdoing. Thusly, quandaries are inescapable in criminal justice.

An ethical dilemma is:

1.) a situation in which the officer did not know what the right course of action was, or

2.) a situation in which the course of action the officer considered right was difficult to do, or

3.) a situation in which the wrong course of action was very tempting.

Three ethical issues related to criminal justice surveys and field experiments areas examined: the role of informed consent; the impact of the research design on the outcome; and the necessity of confidentiality and immunity. Educated assent is of specific importance to criminal justice research as many examination subjects are regularly associated with law-abusing or standard disregarding practices, the openness of which could have antagonistic individual results. Researchers are often concerned approximately the impact that conditions of informed assent can have on reaction rates. Without conditions that will bring about damage or hardship, educated assent may not be compulsory. A few issues encompass the proposed studies plan and enrollment of topics, mainly while the exploration makes use of human topics withinside the execution of an abnormal tasks. Certifications of secrecy and resistance are accepted to have worked with the investigation of law-abusing conduct and improved the nature of reactions gave in overviews.

Moral inquiries and issues emerge for all individuals, not only for experts in the criminal justice framework, or educators who show morals, or individuals from the ministry. We may all need to make choices including moral issues in our everyday and expert lives, on the grounds that, as we have noted, moral issues are worried about inquiries of good and bad and how we should act. For model, we may go after a position, and to be considered for the position, we may need to choose regardless of whether to shroud the way that we were terminated from past work for an offence. At the end of the day, we need to conclude whether to mislead advance our own professional advantages or whether to uncover the truth. Another occurrence may emerge as we stroll down the road and see an individual who is obviously destitute, begging from bystanders. The moral issue here is whether we should act to help poor people and penniless or simply pass by and give nothing. We should settle on moral choices in our everyday lives, so it is useful to perceive at the point when an issue includes moral contemplations and afterwards can apply information of morals, including moral wording and ideas, in settling on our choice about what to do. Various moral methodologies can be taken in settling on a choice about a moral issue, and you will find in the accompanying parts that nobody approach is the "right" one; rather, extraordinary approaches are similarly substantial in moral terms. The methodology we receive to a moral issue will be casing and offer significance to any choice we make and can be utilized to legitimize and approve our activities. Obviously, it is consistently conceivable to surrender the duty regarding settling on a moral choice. We may conclude that we will just follow the directs of others instead of applying our own personalities to a specific moral issue. There may be Comparable circumstances that may emerge in the criminal justice framework, for instance, an investigator may need to conclude whether to look for the most extreme punishment against a charged under three-strikes of enactment. In the event when the individual in question chooses to look for the most extreme, the outcome might be that the charged will be imprisoned for the remainder of their life. An investigator may choose to act morally and completely gauge this issue considering the current realities of the case and the idea of the wrongdoing carried out. Then again, the person may decide not to follow that cycle and may basically take the position that the law reflects general assessment and that the individual ought to consistently practice attentiveness in order to force the full punishment given by the law. 

At the point when we choose to acknowledge duty and settle on a choice including moral contemplations, we are confronted with an individual moral issue. Ethical dilemmas are significant in the criminal justice framework since criminal justice experts are frequently confronted with settling on choices that include ethical issues. A significant part of the material worries about moral practices in the criminal justice framework will zero in on moral difficulties looked by criminal justice experts, and it will investigate alternatives considering moral speculations and any pertinent guidelines and guidelines. How would we perceive when a problem is a moral quandary rather than just a difficulty? A moral problem emerges just when a choice should be made that includes a contention at the individual, relational, institutional, or cultural level or raises issues of rights or good character.
