Which of the following is not one of NM's three major goals in the criminal justice system?

New Mexico’s three major goals in the criminal justice system are preventing crime, controlling crime, and ensuring justice. Rehabilitation isn’t listed among these three; it’s more about offender reform after conviction and is typically pursued within the corrections/rehabilitation side rather than as a core objective of the entire criminal justice process. Crime prevention focuses on stopping crimes before they happen, crime control aims to reduce crime opportunities and enforce laws, and justice emphasizes fair treatment and due process. Rehabilitation fits into post-conviction reform to reduce recidivism, not as one of the system’s primary goals.
