I.                    MODELS OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM (Packer, 1968): The value systems that compete for priority in the operation of the criminal justice system.

A.                 Crime Control Values:

1.                  Repression of crime

2.                  Efficiency in processing

3.                  Speed: requires informality

4.                  Finality of process

5.                  Uniformity of processing

6.                  FACT FINDING

7.                  Early determination of probable guilt/innocence:

8.                  Presumption of Guilt for those not screened out early:

9.                  Bypass other CJ steps after probable guilt

 

B.               DUE PROCESS VALUES

1.                  Obstacle course, instead of assembly line, to accused proceeding, (not anti crime repression)

2.                  FACT FINDING PLAGUED WITH ERRORS:

3.                  Rejection of Informal processes in favor of:

4.                  FORMAL PROCESS

5.                  ADVERSARIAL PROCESS

6.                  Public process

7.                  Low demand on FINALITY

8.                  Quality Control/Elimination of Error

9.                  Power May be Abused

10.              PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE:

11.              LEGAL GUILT: (not same as finding one probably did what accused of)

12.              Penalizes CJ agents to ensure D.P. procedures followed

13.              Equality of Accused: treatment should not depend upon who you are

14.              Skepticism about the utility of punishment
