Explain the difference between the crime control model and the due process model.
An emphasis on efficient and effective justice is known as the crime-control (public-order) model. However, government is restricted in the powers it may exercise in maintaining law and order in society. The constitution guarantees that people have due process rights. Hence, the emphasis on crime-control (public-order) versus an emphasis on individual rights (due process) constantly shifts back and forth. This shift can result in the U.S. Supreme Court declaring a significantly different interpretation of the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, resulting from a landmark decision.
