Some criminologists believe that we should focus more on crime control, while others emphasize the importance of preserving and maintaining robust due process rights of individuals. It may not be possible to balance these perspectives, but it is clear that each perspective is affected by societal context and public perception of crime and the effectiveness of our public policies in deterring and controlling crime.
After reading the assignments and lectures and viewing the PowerPoint presentations, you have a better understanding of the crime control model versus the due process model.
For this discussion create a Venn diagram showing the differences and similarities between the crime control model and the due process model. Then discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both. It is fair to say there is a time and a place for everything, are there situations and circumstances where one model is superior to the other? Be sure to include examples to support your conclusions, challenge each other to look at different crimes from different perspectives.
