Which term indicates legal amendments affecting criminal justice?

• A. Change in funding
• B. Changing priorities
• C. Change in law
• D. Media effectiveness

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is how formal rules governing crime and punishment get updated. The term that best signals this is change in law, because it refers to amendments to statutes, acts, or regulations that shape policing, court procedures, and corrections. When the law is changed, practices across the criminal justice system—such as what counts as an offense, how offences are charged, or what penalties apply—can and do shift. In contrast, a change in funding affects resources, changing priorities relates to what the system focuses on rather than its legal rules, and media effectiveness deals with public perception, not the legal framework itself. So, only change in law directly indicates legal amendments affecting how the criminal justice system operates.
