Crime Control Model

The Crime Control Model is a concept within the criminal justice system that prioritizes the efficient detection and punishment of crime to ensure public safety. It emphasizes the swift processing of cases through law enforcement and the judiciary, aiming to minimize the risk of criminal activity. Proponents argue that effective crime control, such as increased police presence and harsher penalties, deters potential offenders. While it values order and security, critics caution that it may compromise individual rights and lead to wrongful convictions if not balanced with due process protections.
