The goal of the criminal justice system that is also a constitutional right is deterrence. However, it’s worth noting that while deterrence is a goal, the specific constitutional rights associated more explicitly relate to due process and fair treatment under the law. If the intent of the question is regarding constitutional rights directly, it might be more nuanced since deterrence itself isn't directly enumerated as a right like others may be. Please clarify if you're looking for a specific aspect of constitutional rights related to criminal justice goals.
