    step-by-step process
  • The Criminal Justice Wedding Cake (Samuel Walker)
  • Celebrated cases
  • Serious felonies
  • Less serious felonies
  • Misdemeanors

10
Crime Control Perspective
  • James Q. Wilson in Thinking about Crime
  • People are wicked
  • Prevent crime through sanctions
  • Criminals should fear the justice system
  • Legal technicalities and bleeding heart judges
    should be abolished
  • The focus should be on the victim

11
Crime Control Perspective History
  • The worse crime gets, the more advocates for
    deterrence
  • 1764 Cesare Beccaria
  • On Crime and Punishment
  • Certainty and Celerity of Punishment
  • Jeremy Bentham
  • Introduction to the Principles of Morals And
    Legislation

12
Rehabilitation perspective
  • The purpose of the justice system is to treat and
    care for offenders who cannot treat or care for
    themselves
  • The goal is lifestyle improvement
  • Criminals are victims
  • There are alternatives to crime

13
Due Process Perspective
  • Criminal justice should provide fair and
    equitable treatment
  • Nonadversarial view of the court room workgroup

14
Nonintervention Perspective
  • Being involved in the criminal justice process
    stigmatizes a person
  • Decriminalize
  • Legalize victimless crimes
  • DE-institutionalize punishment
  • Community-based treatment programs

15
Justice Perspective
  • Law violators should be viewed by their current
    behavior, not their prior behavior
  • Punishment should be equitably administered
