Furthermore, justice system is another issue of grave intolerance and mistrust in the Caribbean. The justice system is the interaction of societal institutions that are identified with social control and regulation; laws are set and enforced and punishments are administered by state institutions. It is concerned with maintaining a society which citizens are treated justly and fairly. According to the marxist perspective, the justice system is oppressive and exploitative to the lower class. This indicates that it props up the status of the upper class, also called elites or bourgeoisie, through the legislation and enforcement system such as the police, that will serve their interests to harm or hinder the lower classes or proletariats who tend to be on the receiving end of the law.

The justice system does not extend any sort of fairness to members of the lower class, who are generally targeted as being criminals. This indicates that when a upper class member of society commits white-collar crimes, they are hardly pursued by the police or even convicted in the court. While the lower class members of society are labelled as criminals which makes it appear that crime is mainly found in lower class communities. Hence that may not be the case. For example: An individual who is an owner of a company that commits a white-collar crime such as tax evasion where they avoid paying their taxes and putting false information on tax forms but no legal action will be taken to ensure justice due to their high status in society. While an individual who is an employee of a company who commits a white-collar crime such as embezzelment, where they take money from their employer for their own personal purpose can be charged and even trialed in court for this crime due to their lack of status in society.

The justice system can also be illustrated from a functionalist perspective, where the justice system is a means to safe guard social stability and shared values by creating just ways to deal with law breaking. This indicates that the law protects citizens and keeps the society stable or well-balanced when dealing with crime, and the similar values are shared amongst different cultures to creating ways to deal with law breaking in their society. For example: Different cultural leaders will come together to create laws for citizens to follow and punishments to be inflicted on the law breakers or criminals who did not abide by the rules or laws of society. Additionally, funtionalist believed that the justice system has been shaped to take care of law breakers by punishment, instilling doubt or fear of the consequences, or restoring their former privileges or reputation after a period of disfavour, through the police, the court and methods of correction.
