1. Welcome Back 9/1/2015 What does the constitution tell us?
Do you think there are different models for Criminal Justice?

2. Criminal Justice is it a system?
System: A smoothly operating set of arrangements and institutions directed toward the achievement of common goals

3. C.J is not a System

4. Why? Not a single system Loose confederation Overlapping jurisdictions
Confusion and Conflict

5. Examples

6. Juvenile System Seal Records “Delinquents”
Harder on criminal officials

7. Rather than operating as a system criminal justice operates more independently which can create problems.

8. Please answer on your notecards What are 2 problems with Criminal Justice not being a complete “system”?

9. Two Models of Criminal Justice
Herbert Packer
1968

10. 1. Crime Control Method Conservative Control Criminal Behavior
Efficiency/Quickness
“Assembly Line or McJustice”
Uniformity

11. C.J is a slow process Arrest  Court Case  Jury  Appeal
Plea Bargaining
Informal Process
Semi-uniform

12. Problems!
Guilt
Arrest/Prosecution Correct
Exoneration or guilty plea

13. Court Case: Example

14. Gary Ridgway: The Green River Killer
48 counts of murder
Death Penalty
Life Imprisonment
Locate Victims
“We could have gone forward with seven counts, but that is all we could have ever hoped to solve. At the end of that trial, whatever the outcome, there would have been lingering doubts about the rest of these crimes. This agreement was the avenue to the truth. And in the end, the search for the truth is still why we have a criminal justice system. Gary Ridgway does not deserve our mercy. He does not deserve to live. The mercy provided by today's resolution is directed not at Ridgway, but toward the families who have suffered so much”

15. On your notecards
Do you feel the decision to grant Mr. Ridgway a plea bargain was justified?
Why or why not?

16. 2. Due Process Model Factual Guilt = No enough Public Trials
Full opportunity to discredit charges
“Obstacle Course Justice”

17. People make mistakes Wrongful arrests
Let a guilty man go than punish an innocent man
Not to be held guilty until proven in court
Not just factually but legally guilty

18. Due Process Common Rights
Freedom from unreasonable
searches and seizures
Protection against double jeopardy
Protection against self-incrimination
Speedy/Public Trial
Impartial jury of state where crime committed
Confront opposing witness
Right to counsel
Prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment

19. Problems
Not equal Justice
Trials
Defending Attorney

20. Create a Venn-Diagram Each Model gets a circle
Middle circle if you see any similarities between them

21. Which System do you agree more with?
Why?

22. Costs of Criminal Justice
2004 Statistics
194 billion
670 per U.S resident
State/Local 82% of cost
Police = Local
Corrections = State
Judicial = State/Local

23. Federal Government Creates new policies and divisions Grant Money
Ex 2004: Focus on drug related crimes
7% of a tax dollar
20 years remained
Low priority

24. Do you think Criminal Justice should be more of a priority for the Federal Government?

25. Costs in single cases Law Enforcement Cost Prosecution Cost
Defense Cost
Judicial Cost
Court Support Staff Cost
Corrections Cost
Average Case Cost = $46,106 in Florida 2008

26. Timothy McVeigh

27. Costs Ted Bundy: State of Florida: 10 Million
Timothy McVeigh: OKC Bomber
Federal Government 100 Million
Both were sentenced to Death

28. Were the executions worth the expense? Why or why not?

29. Myths:
“Simplistic and distorted beliefs based upon emotion rather than rigorous analysis.”
Middle Ages in Europe: Trial by Ordeal
Salem Witch Trials

30. You are the leader You have just been given a new land
As the leader you need to make decisions
How much effort will you place toward C.J system?
Which system would you follow? Why?
How would you handle costs of C.J?
What punishments do you seem fit?
