CRIME CONTROL IMPLICATIONS of CLASSICAL CRIMINOLOGY

Computer Surveillance: Qualitative Attempt to Conceptualize Crime in the 21st Century

In this paper we shall examine and differentiate between two "ideal type" models of the criminal process: the Crime Control Model and the Due Process Model. Crime control underlines an efficient criminal procedure by means of early determination of responsibility by law enforcement representatives (Aviram, 2010). The model necessitates considerable reverence to police officers and prosecutors, the "torchbearers" of the criminal process (Feeley, 2003). As a consequence, the model consents to patience with their mistakes. In comparison, the Due Process Model's main goal is safeguarding accuracy and steering clear of the conviction of the guiltless. (Packer, 1969) Under a due process model, law enforcement judgment is seen as possibly biased (Packer, 1969) and is consequently cautiously curtailed by constitutional assessment and procedural stumbling blocks as a "quality control" apparatus (Aviram, 2010).
