The Crime Control Model And The Due Process Model

The criminal justice system consists of models and theories that often contradict one another. Of these models are the crime control model, the due process, model, the consensus model and the conflict model. In this paper these models are evaluated and defined, as well as each entity in the criminal justice systems role within each model. Policing, corrections and the court system all subscribe to each model in some way and in a hurried manner in cases that dictate such a response. As described by Erik Luna in the Models of Criminal Procedure, the following statement summarizes the aforementioned most appropriately.

There are two models that describe the criminal process. One model is the Crime Control Model and the other is the Due Process Model. These two models describe an attempt to abstract two separate systems that

Due process is when all criminal suspects are guaranteed that they will have the ability to question the evidence against them in an open format. This is where they are entitled to the same protections and procedures as everyone else during a criminal proceeding. As a result, anything that is denying them of these safeguards is violation of their basic rights. (Sundahl, 2011)

The major difference between the crime control model and the due process model of law enforcement is that crime control works to repress criminal activity, and due process works to protect a person's rights. Crime control is more focused on the community well-being, versus due process which focus's more on the person who committed the crime. Crime control also believes that it is better to detain an innocent suspect rather than let them be free until proven guilty. Obtaining evidence becomes the number one priority for crime control. Due process only allows evidence to be collected a certain way. Criminals may be allowed to go free if a there was an error in collecting evidence. For an example, in the O.J Simpson case there were issues involving

The Due Process and Crime Control Models are able to coexist. Frank Scmalleger, a noted criminologist, support a new approach where "it is realistic to think of the U.S. system of justice as representative of crime control through due process." (Schmallager et al, 1999) In using both of these models law enforcement and the judicial system can

Duo Process and Crime Control Model are very much different from each other, and have different values to the criminal justice system. Due Process Model believes that policing within the criminal justice system is crucial to preserving justice within society. Also, Due Process Model believes in the rights of the defendants and proving their guilt is essential to keep the government in control. Due Process Model believes that people that are detained are perceived to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. On the other hand, the Crime Control model believes that the people that are arrested need to be punished by the government if they are found guilty. Overall, the Crime Control model has a negative effect on the criminal justice system and believes that the rights of the defendant exceeds the amount of money spent on employing police officers and building prisons.

The Crime Control Model and the Due Process Model are often used in combination with each other in most of the modern day criminal justice process. In the case of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was the primary suspect of the bombing occurred during the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013, the enforcement actions that the police took on him were however mainly based on the Crime Control Model. The process was first focused on the efficiency of capture the suspect based on factual guilt rather than the taking the longer Due Process with Legal Guilt.

The jury system in America is also influence by the English jury system. Another one of America’s constitutional right is due process which is the basic for fairness that is important in the judicial system which allows our system to work with honor and integrity. According to Currie (1992), the factors of due process involve the United States Constitution; Amendments V, and XIV and in 1970 Illinois State Constitution adopted some rights for due process.

There are two distinct types of models that are found in the English criminal justice system. These are the crime control model and the due process model. They vary in their characteristics and are considered to take divergent objectives. Basing on their evident differences, one of them is actually considered being more effective than the other if the new wave and rate of crime being witnessed in the society is anything to go by. This paper therefore seeks to identify some of the differences between these models and point out that which is considered as effective in dealing with rate of crime in our current society.

The criminal justice field faces the challenges of getting criminals off the streets, and prosecuting them, while using limited funds and manpower. Citizens expect results, and want to feel safe when they are in their own neighborhood. On the other hand, citizens in our democratic country expect people to be treated fairly, and feel the need to make sure that no innocent people are wrongly sent to jail. It is a balancing act of keeping the community safe on one hand, and on the other, making sure that no one’s rights are violated. It is like being told to do a job, but then having all these rules and obstacles you have to navigate around in order to do your job. The following paper is a study of the differences between due

As we can see, due process has changed our justice system from hastily-prosecution to time consuming investigation of all the facts. We should stop pre-judging the accused person until all of the facts are made known unto us. Due process has given all accused citizens an equal opportunity to tell their story, and the right to question the evidence that was brought against them. Even though due process has guaranteed the accused person his or her right to be heard

In our government today we have due process of law. Due process of law simply means that we have protection against a chance deprivation of life, liberty or property. Within the due process law, if you are to be accused of something it has to be under fair and reasonable circumstances. If we are ever to be arrested of something, under due process it commands that we are taken to court and showed a cause. It is very important that we have due process in the law for the people of the United States. Law enforcement always requires the balancing of two competing social concerns: on one hand, is the government's interest in protecting its citizens and prosecuting criminal conduct; on the other hand, is the right of

Without trial is it possible to describe the court system as legitimate (again, consider Tyler)? Does Galanter’s description of the court process fit more into Packer’s Crime Control Model or Due Process Model of criminal processing?

I have come to the conclusion after reading this article that the intended audience is anyone involved in the criminal justice system. Police officers, lawyers, judges, probation officers and everyone in between can find use in the article and its comparing and contrasting of the crime control model and due process model.

American Criminal Justice System The criminal judicial system in America has two main models, the crime control model and the due process model. There has been several debates on which model is the most effective in combating crime in America. Crime control model emphasizes on crime reduction by increasing prosecution powers (Hung-En, 2006). On the other hand, the due process model of crime control aims at increasing the people’s rights and liberty and limiting governmental powers. Unlike the due process model, the crime control model believes in with an increase in governmental powers and reduction of individual freedom in order to mitigate crime in the society.
