The U.S. Criminal Justice System has three main branches: the police (enforcement), the courts (adjudication), and the corrections system (punishment and rehabilitation). The jury is a part of the court - related process but not a separate branch.
For strain theory, it focuses on the gap between socially acceptable goals (like financial success) and the socially acceptable means to achieve them. If there is a strain (a disconnect), it can lead to deviant behavior.
