Which criminal justice model do you feel is most important—the crime control model or the due process model? why?

I would have to say the due process model. I

Some of the differences between the due process model and the crime control model are in the due process model people that are arrested are perceived to be innocent until proven in a court of law. The crime control model believes that the people that are arrested are guilty and need to be punished by the government.

With the due process model, which we see in Canada (versus the crime control model we see largely in the United States), the alleged offender is actually presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This lowers the probability of false imprisonment, overcrowded prison systems, protecting the defendants rights, limiting police powers and thereby limiting abuse of overall power in the justice system, procedural safeguards that serve as much to protect the innocent as to convict the guilty, etc.

The most important function of criminal justice should be to provide due process, or fundamental fairness under the law.
