UNIT 2 ASSESMENT
FOR BCJ 2001 CLASS
QUESTION 1
Is it really a question of rejection of one model over another? Imagine and thinking critically, what if it was up to the police to decide when to search your home without a warrant? Would you trust their judgement? The Due Process Model requires a search warrant reviewed by a judge. Can you see the contrast and the need for both models?
this is what was written and I have to answer the questions abouve from what was written:
The crime control and due process models are mainly involved in challenging crime and allow issuing of the right justice. Due process ensures individuals have their rights while crime control ensures that criminals are brought to justice for crimes they commit. Although these two models are models of the criminal justice system, there is a tension that is being experienced between crime control and due process. This is because of the debate on whether a balance can be attained between these two models at the same time. A balance cannot be achieved when the crime control and due process models are involved at the same time. This is because crime control model deals with ensuring that there is no violence, unrest and also condemns any person who is found to have committed a crime that is termed as criminal. However, it becomes difficult to bring an individual to justice because of the due process model. This is because criminal agencies still need to uphold the rights of an individual, even if they are being charged with committing a crime. Hence, rights such as the right to bail where the individual can be released from police custody tend to really affect the process of bringing the criminal to justice. This makes it difficult for a balance to exist between these two models. Secondly, a balance may not exist between these two models because due process usually tends to reject or discard the notions of the crime control model. The crime control model usually deals with understanding what occurred during a crime, so the perpetrator can be convicted but the due process tends to swing in the favor of the perpetrator stating that the victim of the crime may have given inaccurate data, and also policies such a search warrant is usually needed before criminal agencies are allowed to search the premises of a criminal.to find evidence. Hence, occasions like this make it challenging for criminal agencies to bring perpetrators to book which shows why a balance cannot be achieved between crime control and due process models.
