Abstract
The Turkish Criminal Justice System (TCJS) has widely been developed on the philosophical foundations of the Classical School of Criminology, which emerged out of the Enlightenment Era in Europe. Drawing on the official statistics and other related data, this study first demonstrates that the TCJS has not been successful in creating the anticipated deterrent and preventive effect on crime and then points out the problems and pitfalls of the TCJS in meeting the requirements of an
effective criminal justice system in deterring and preventing crime, as proposed by the classical criminology and several empirical studies evaluating the propositions of this school of thought. Consequently, several policy recommendations are discussed to develop the deterrent and preventive capacity of the TCJS against crimes.
