Manheim's Theory of Criminal Procedure

Manheim's Theory of Criminal Procedure emphasizes the importance of balancing the rights of individuals with the needs of society in the criminal justice system. It suggests that while the legal process should protect citizens' rights, it must also ensure public safety and uphold social order. This dual focus supports fair treatment of defendants while maintaining effective law enforcement. The theory advocates for procedural fairness and accountability, highlighting that how the law is applied is just as important as the laws themselves to ensure justice and societal trust in the legal system.
