Criminal justice agency is an institution which is responsible for detecting and stopping crime. It is also controls the works of correctional institutions.
The work of criminal justice agency is very important for the normal functioning of the society. Criminal justice agency fulfills and important functions because according to Abraham Maslow safety need is an important element of the hierarchy.
According to Maslow human needs can be structured and measured. Maslow’s theory belongs to the category of Need theories of motivation.
Need theories are based on different hierarchies of needs, dividing needs according to their importance. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs places physiological needs on the lowest stage.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs consist of four layers. He based his hierarchy on human needs and these four human needs are: psychological needs (includes hunger, etc), safety needs, belonging and love needs, esteem needs and self-actualization needs. Hierarchy is constructed in a form of the pyramid and upper needs cannot be satisfied until the needs from the lower levels are not satisfied. For example, when the person is hungry or in danger he is very unlikely to worry about his esteem and self-actualization.
The development of art, fashion and design is susceptible to considerable changes in the course of time. The emergence of new styles and movements is practically inevitable and this trend accompanies art, fashion and design throughout epochs. On the other hand, it is necessary to remember about the existence of symbols which persist through different epoch and remain relevant always, acquiring certain implicit meaning. In such a way, the development of art, fashion and design is affected by two controversial trends: the trend to changes and the trend to preservation symbols which seem to be eternal. In such a situation, it is very important to understand the basic trends in the development of art, fashion and design in order to understand the significance of changes and new movements as well as their impact on traditional symbols and aesthetic value of art, fashion and design.
The Victorian Age marked a considerable change of British society and traditional culture and system of value. In fact, traditionally the Victorian Age is viewed as the Golden Age of the British Empire. However, the Victorian Age was not as perfect as it might seem to be. In this respect, it is possible to refer to works of poets working at that epoch, such as Robert Browning and Christina Rosetti, whose works reveal the controversy of the Victorian Age and uncover the shift from old traditions to a new, more pragmatic system of values. At the same time, it is important to underline that the Victorian Age was the epoch when Great Britain was the main world power and British culture, British lifestyle and values were considered to be mainstream at the epoch. In such a context, the revelations made by Robert Browning in his poems “My Last Duchess” and “The Bishop Orders His Tomb” and by Christina Rosetti in her “In an Artist’s Studio” prove the epoch that traditional values of old England had fade away and the world had become less idealistic and more concerned with material benefits. This new world shattered the foundation of traditional English society which could hardly survive through the Victorian Age, which actually became the sunset of the idealistic values of the epoch of Enlightenment and gave place to the new moral principles and values of the epoch of imperialism.
