Summary
The Due Process Model and the Crime Control Model are two different approaches to criminal justice. Students learn about the differences between them, and about plea bargaining and three-strikes laws.
The Two Models
The Due Process Model focuses on protecting the rights of individuals. The Crime Control Model aims to reduce crime. Both models have different views on the causes of crime and the role of constitutional values.
Plea Bargaining
Plea bargaining is controversial. It can save time and money for the courts. Critics argue that it can lead to innocent defendants pleading guilty and weakens the adversary system.
Three Strikes Law
The three-strikes law has had unintended impacts. It has led to longer prison terms for less severe crimes. The law's application varies across different jurisdictions.
Criticism of the Models
Critics argue that plea bargaining and lenient sentences undermine the justice system. The Crime Control Model can cause collateral damage. The Due Process Model aims to protect the innocent.
