Cosmic ray acceleration in astrophysical shocks is important. We discuss these shocks' properties and we perform Monte Carlo simulations studying their efficiency in accelerating particles (i.e. protons or electrons) up to very high energies with an application to astrophysical regions such as Super Novae, Active Galactic Nuclei hot spots and Gamma Ray Bursts. The efficiency of the acceleration mechanism at shocks varies in regard to the inclination of the magnetic field to the shock normal (e.g. subluminal shocks, superluminal shocks). This fact could have consequences to the contribution of the very high energy cosmic rays to the observed cosmic ray spectrum and the relevant neutrino and gamma-ray emission.
