Discussion Post: Crime Control versus Due Process Models of Criminal Justice

The text discusses two primary goals of American criminal justice: the need to enforce the law and maintain order and the need to protect people from injustice. Chapter 1 addresses this issue beginning on p.11 and a synopsis of Herbert Packer's crime control/due process models of criminal justice are provided in Figure 1-2. The original article by Packer is also available in the Module (sorry for the lengthy read).

Which of the two models is currently the primary focus of the American criminal justice system and why? Do you think the current situation is appropriate? Is a combination of the two models possible? Explain.
