Conflict And Crime Control Models Versus Consensus And Due Process Models

ABSTRACT:
6 pages in length. Who is to blame for crime - the perpetrator or the victim? Society or the situation? Do criminal rights supersede those of the victim since the Constitution guarantees said rights to everyone, or do the criminals forfeit those rights when committing illegal acts against the victim? Is there any single method under which the system should operate that extends the greatest combination of legal and civil rights to the most worthy party? These questions represent the tip of the proverbial iceberg when addressing the ongoing debate between liberal and conservative views of the criminal justice system. Examining policies behind the conflict and crime control models versus the consensus and due process models finds a chasm of disagreement that serves to approach the issue from two very diverse perspectives. Measuring the effectiveness of each policy provides a greater understanding of how one approach is not only more legally sound but also more ethically appropriate. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
