(REARRANGE THE ABOVE IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE)

Before anybody can suggest what to do to improve our criminal justice system, we must decide what the objectives of the system should be. Please comment on the six items randomly listed above by listing them in order of what you think the goals of our criminal justice system should be. The simplest way to do it is to just rearrange the letters. For example, if you answered: “BCDEFA” it would mean that “B” is the most important, and “A” is the least important. Please feel free add any comments afterward.
