Abstract

This study examines South Korea's criminal justice system (CJS) as a potential model for Pakistan's ongoing reforms. The aim is to identify areas where South Korea's CJS excels and analyze their applicability to address shortcomings in Pakistan's system. Through a comprehensive literature review, the research explores theoretical frameworks and existing studies on both nations' CJS. Additionally, a comparative analysis may be conducted using data on crime rates, conviction rates, and recidivism in both countries. Results and discussion will focus on key strengths of South Korea's CJS, such as technology integration, rehabilitation programs, or focus on restorative justice. The analysis will then explore how these elements could be adapted to the Pakistani context, considering cultural and legal differences. The research uses a qualitative approach to examine South Korea's criminal justice system as a model for reforms in Pakistan, focusing on its effectiveness and adaptability to the Pakistani context through a comparative case study approach. Finally, the study will propose concrete solutions and recommendations for incorporating successful practices from South Korea into Pakistan's CJS reforms. This may include policy changes, implementation strategies, and considerations for overcoming potential challenges. By learning from a demonstrably effective system, Pakistan can enhance its CJS to deliver swifter justice, improve rehabilitation rates, and ultimately promote public safety.
