Assignment task:
The two main Criminal Justice models are the crime control model and the due process model. Both systems offer many advantages and drawbacks. The Crime Control Model's main objective is efficiency and swift punishment to "control crime" and the Due Process Model emphasizes individual rights and safeguards to ensure fair treatment of the criminal justice process.
In researching about the two models and watching the assigned videos. In my opinion both models offer many benefits, but the Due Process Model provides the most justice for both the defense and public.
The reasons I believe that the Due Process Model is best for ensuring justice is because the core tenets of this model are the presumption of innocence, protection of individual rights, and adherence to legal rights. The disadvantages of this model come from the fact it places a lot of emphasis on rights and protections, and that it results in slow criminal proceedings.
In past courses I learned that the Crime Control model is associated with "assembly line justice" because of the high volume of cases, this model focuses on efficiency, plea bargaining, and minimal personalization.
