But in contrast there are very different at the same time. The crime control model is used in the criminal justice system for the prevention of crime. The crime control does not exclude that is possible to make a mistake, but based on the circumstances of the laws, the person is considered guilty until her or she is proven innocent. This model is based on old fashion laws which allow rapid and speedy convictions despite the mitigating factors of the case and the victim. The results, of the crime control model are wrongful convictions, being over-turned and this is a major downfall in the criminal justice system.
Mr. Beccaria and other members of the Classical School fought for punishment to be set by legislative instead of judges having all of the authority for punishment. The members of the Classical School of Thought believed that preventing crime was more important than punishing the criminal. When criminals know what the punishment is going to be for the crimes that they are going to commit it will help to deter the crimes from being committed. When people do commit crimes the crime is done of their own free will. This procedure of knowing the punishment with it being severe to the

Within the due process one may not be treated cruel, unfair or be given unreasonable treatment. Every accused person is entitled to fair procedures, and the due process applies to the criminal justice system as the trials, parole hearings, and administrative hearings. Due process main goal is to protect the innocent from being wrongfully convicted but may be looked upon as focusing on the rights of the accused and ignoring the rights of the victims. Crime control model is taken back a little and is the complete opposite of Due Process Model, which the crime control model focuses on the initial arrest, prosecution, and the conviction of a criminal. Due process priorities stand with protecting an
Ryan Silva Criminal Procedures Wed 6:30-9:35 pm Differences between Due Process and Crime Control Due Process focuses more on the rights of individuals whether it be the private citizen or an alleged suspect being tried for a crime, while maximizing the government efforts to stop or prevent crime. The trick is how successfully execute both without sacrificing one for the other, One could argue that this is the liberal perspective of the crime prevention module. Supporters of this perspective want a defendant to properly go through the entire justice system from beginning to end without, including exhausting the number of appeals allowed calling this the “obstacle course” (Worral p.14). Crime Control on other hand focuses more on the prevention of crime at any cost. Could be considered the conservative approach to the crime prevention module.
However, even she had to admit that these special laws won't deter the criminals who practice these violent acts. Murder is murder and regardless of motive if the intent to kill exist, no law is going to prevent
There is little question that the public leans toward a punishment that is harsher for those who commit acts of armed robber. The public would the people are who innocent and inevitably be the victims who would be the targets for those criminals. The public would be in full support of a motion that punishes those who perform these acts more harshly than they are being punished now in the hopes that the new legislation would act as deterrence. It has been a common theory that harsher punishments would indeed be effective as deterrents to such acts of deviance as armed robbery. Acts of armed robbery that end in violence or homicide tend to render the public outraged and give their voice a stronger demand for justice to be done.
The general ideal of the deterrence method suggest that one punishment is enough to deter other people if the situation is take care of quickly enough. General deterrence basically believes if young people see that society both intends to punish criminal acts, they will be deterred from committing a crime by the factors and awareness. The more severe and swift the punishment is, then the greater of the deterrent effect. An example could be having more police officers on the streets, thus convincing potential delinquents that they will be caught. Specific deterrence method focuses on the fact that if an individual is punished strongly for one crime, then they will not commit this crime again out of fear of punishment.
These crimes consist of attempts, solicitation, and conspiracies (Schmalleger, F., 2010, p. 80). Rules of inchoate crimes are that “(1) a person should not be charged with both the inchoate and choate offense, with the exception of conspiracy which can be a separate charge; (2) lesser penalties should ideally be imposed for inchoate crimes, but in many cases, the penalty should be exactly the same as for the completed offense; (3) inchoate crimes should have specific intent, spelling out clearly what the mens rea elements are; and (4) some overt action or substantial step should be required in the direction of completing the crime.” (Incomplete (Inchoate) Crimes, 2003) The inchoate crime of attempt means that a person tried to commit a crime, but for some reason was unable to complete the crime. There are two things that must be present in order for a crime to be labeled as an attempt. (1) A criminal must have a specific intent to commit a crime. (2) To make actions, also considered a substantial step, in the direction of committing the crime (Schmalleger, F., 2010, p.
Opportunity theorists reject the notion that criminals are pushed and pulled into criminal behavior. Rather, these theorists assert that criminal offenders are consciously thinking individuals who actively choose to partake in criminal activities in their everyday normal lives. Opportunity theorists seek to explain why criminals choose to commit a crime in one situation and not another. This perspective is what they call an “opportunity theory” Opportunity theories wager that no crime would be committed unless there was an open and present opportunity to commit the criminal act. One approach that opportunity theorists seek in preventing crime is what is known as the routine activity theory.
