Understanding Crime Control and Due Process Models: Simple Examples and Pros & Cons

The crime control model and due process model are two fundamental models of the criminal justice system. These models, defined by Herbert Packer in 1968, represent contrasting approaches to criminal justice. The crime control model prioritizes suppressing crime and swift prosecution, while the due process model emphasizes protecting individual rights and ensuring fair trials.

  • The crime control model focuses on efficient prosecution and crime suppression
  • The due process model prioritizes protecting the rights of the accused
  • Both models have strengths and weaknesses in addressing criminal justice
  • Case studies of Barry George/Jill Dando and Colin Stagg/Rachel Nickell illustrate the application of these models in real-world scenarios

Case Studies: Applying the Models

This page presents case studies that illustrate the application of the crime control model and due process model in real-world scenarios. These examples help demonstrate the practical implications of each approach to criminal justice.

The Barry George/Jill Dando case provides insights into both models:

Example: In the due process model, the police investigation was thorough, and Barry was allowed to appeal his conviction, with decisions being challenged.

Example: In the crime control model, Barry was targeted because he fit the profile of a loner, and his conviction was based on a single particle of gunshot residue. He faced imprisonment, failed appeals, and received no compensation.

The Colin Stagg/Rachel Nickell case further illustrates the differences between the two models:

Example: In the due process model, the judge threw out the case due to improperly obtained evidence the"honeytrap"techniquethe "honey trap" technique.

Example: In the crime control model, Colin was targeted as he fit the profile of a "loner," and undercover officers were used to try to extract a confession.

These case studies highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each model, demonstrating how they can lead to different outcomes in criminal investigations and trials.

Highlight: The application of these models in real cases shows that while the crime control model may lead to quicker arrests and convictions, it can also result in wrongful convictions. Conversely, the due process model may protect individual rights but can sometimes allow guilty individuals to avoid conviction due to procedural technicalities.

Crime Control and Due Process Models

The crime control model and due process model are two contrasting approaches to criminal justice, defined by Herbert Packer in 1968. These models of criminal justice system represent different priorities and methods in addressing crime and protecting society.

Definition: The crime control model is an approach that prioritizes suppressing crime and efficiently prosecuting offenders, often starting from a presumption of guilt.

The crime control model advocates for giving police significant freedom and authority to act swiftly in catching and prosecuting suspects. This model can be likened to an efficient conveyor belt, focusing on quick and easy prosecution of suspects to protect victims and society.

Highlight: The crime control model prioritizes societal protection, even at the risk of potential wrongful convictions.

Example: Crime control model examples include zero-tolerance policies and right realism approaches to criminal justice.

In contrast, the due process model focuses on protecting the rights of the accused and ensuring fair trials.

Definition: The due process model emphasizes the protection of individual rights against potential abuses of authority, treating the accused as "innocent until proven guilty."

This model sets up safeguards and restrictions on police power to prevent abuse and ensure fair treatment of suspects. It can be compared to an obstacle course that authorities must navigate to secure a conviction.

Highlight: The due process model emphasizes the protection of individual rights over societal protection, potentially allowing some guilty individuals to go free on technicalities.

Example: Due process model examples include the implementation of PACE PoliceandCriminalEvidenceActPolice and Criminal Evidence Act restrictions on police powers.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
