In the textbook there are two models of justice being explained they are the crime control model and the due process model. The crime control model is where emphasis is being put on reducing crime that is going on by increasing the police and prosecutorial powers. The due process model puts emphasis on protecting the rights of the person. The supporters are concerned about the lawbreaking aspect of it. The supporters see the need to protect the public from predatory criminals. They also believe that granting to much leeway to the law enforcement officials will end up with the loss of civil liberties and freedom for all the Americans. Between the two justice models I would choose the due process model. This is because it seems more logical.
