What Is Criminal Justice?
UV
CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Chapter 1 introduces the subject of criminal justice. It describes the major theme of the book and
discusses whether the criminal justice process actually functions as a “system”. It then provides
an overview of the criminal justice process and the textbook as a whole. Finally, it discusses
multiculturalism and diversity and the unique challenges and opportunities they present for the
criminal justice system.
IA
The major theme of the book, individual rights versus public order, is a primary
determinant of the nature of contemporary criminal justice. Individual rights advocates focus on
protecting personal freedoms and civil rights within our society while public order advocates
suggest that under certain circumstances involving criminal threats to public safety, the interests
_A
of society should take precedence over individual rights. Individual rights and community
interests are delicately balanced in our criminal justice system. Attempts to expand individual
rights affect community interests; conversely, as community interests have expanded more
recently, individual rights have been limited. Balancing these competing interests revolves around
individual conceptions of social justice.
PP
The criminal justice system includes a number of component agencies: police, courts, and
corrections. However, whether it functions as a “system” has been called into question. The
consensus model supports the system view, arguing that there is a high level of cooperation
among agencies and individuals in the system, and that the components of the system operate
without conflict. Conversely, the conflict model of criminal justice views the operation of these
RO
components from a different perspective, arguing that the goals of individual agencies differ and
various external pressures fragment their efforts, leading to a criminal justice “nonsystem.”
Both models have value in helping us understand the operation of the criminal justice system.
Although the agencies of justice have a diversity of functions, they are linked closely enough for
the term system to be applied. However, their sheer size makes effective inter-agency cooperation
difficult.
VE
The author provides an overview of the book and introduces the stages in the justice process.
In general, the criminal justice process begins with the police who are responsible for conducting
an investigation, making an arrest if probable cause can be established, and booking the
suspect. Pretrial activities begin with the first appearance, where the suspect is brought before a
judge and may have the opportunity for bail. A preliminary hearing will then be conducted to
D?
determine whether there is probable cause and whether the criminal justice process should
continue. In some states, the prosecutor may then seek to continue the case by filing an
information with the court; in others, an indictment must be returned by a grand jury before
prosecution can proceed. The suspect then goes to arraignment and is asked to enter a plea. If
the defendant does not plead guilty, a trial will be held. After conviction, the judge imposes
??
punishment in the form of a sentence, after which the corrections stage begins.
As required by the U.S. Constitution, criminal justice case processing must be conducted with
fairness and equity, also known as due process. Due process underlies the Bill of Rights; the
guarantees in the Bill of Rights has been interpreted and clarified by the Supreme Court. Court
decisions provide rights in practice and often carry as much weight as legislative action.
??
The two models of justice are also discussed. The crime-control model values efficiency
while the due process model emphasizes individual rights. While these goals appear opposing, it
