Introduction

The lawless person justice scheme is best recounted as a search for the reality, however the more precise delineation of it states that it is the scheme of law enforcement, the bar, the judiciary, corrections, and probation that is directly involved in the apprehension, prosecution, defense, judgment, incarceration, and supervision of those supposed of or ascribed with lawless person offences (dictionary.com).
