crime control

For a long time, the law enforcement agents and the judicial systems have been using the crime control and the due process models in an effort to establish and maintain justice in the society. In as much as these two models operate hand in hand, they both have similarities as well as several differences in how they operate in the judicial system. They are very effective in the judicial system because they both work towards providing justice, creating a great impact in the judicial system in the society (Edkins & Kansas, 2007). However, they have variations on their operation approaches in bringing justice to the people in the society. The reasons why at some point these two models seem to be similar is because they coil around the constitution, and the constitutional settings define their operational strategies to give comparable explanations of finding justice among the people in the society (Zalman, 2008).

The majority of people in the society have a preference to the crime control model over the due process models because of its ability to be a quick and efficient process. This happens because the crime control model orbits around the assembly line, resorting to being quicker and more efficient compared to the due process models. However, its justice in most cases is questionable according to evidence from the societal concerns. On the other hand, People resist the due process models because they take a long time to operate and are difficult to apply in many cases (Levrant, 2009). This aspect of the due process models of consuming too much time makes people go for the other model even though its fairness is not trusted.

...y (Edkins & Kansas, 2007). However, both crime control and due process models pose immense risks on the society by the fact that they are allowed pre-trial detention. Nevertheless, the restrictions defined by the constitution on the crime control and due process models regarding criminal procedures, help them operate effectively and efficiently to accomplish the desired activities in maintaining fair justice in the society (Zalman, 2008).

Conclusion

The crime control model and due process model have similarities in various areas especially on how they maintain law and order in the society, and the approaches they use on criminal procedures. Although these two models clash at some point, when used together, they deliver fair decisions in criminal related cases. Therefore, they are significant in helping law enforcers create suitable judicial systems in the society.
