Criminal Justice Most people feel very strongly about crime, and judges and magistrates play a vital role in the criminal justice system â especially when it comes to sentencing. Criminal cases come to court after a decision has been made by, usually the Crown Prosecution Service, to prosecute someone for an alleged crime. In the vast majority of cases (over 95 per cent), magistrates hear the evidence and, as a panel, make a decision on guilt or innocence.
A lot of people talk to themselves because they think out loud. However, some people with mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, may appear to be talking to themselves when they're really talking to things and people that only they can see and/or hear.
A laconic person uses very few words to say something. If you describe someone as loquacious you mean that he talks too much. Someone who is morose is unhappy, bad-tempered, and unwilling to talk very much. A recluse is someone who chooses to live alone and deliberately avoids other people. Someone who is reserved is quiet, self-controlled, and keeps his thoughts mostly to himself.
