Crime Control Perspective

Question

Description

Define the term "crime control perspective." Compare and contrast the various crime control perspectives.

Some types of crime control perspectives:

Operational Perspective: consisted of people's views about how the justice system operates (or should operate). Crime control vs due process, system vs non-system perspectives, the funnel model of justice and the criminal justice wedding cake.

Political Perspective: Liberal vs conservative perspectives, consensus vs conflict perspectives

Other perspectives: Faith vs fact, crime control or revenue generation.

Goals of crime control: deterrence, retribution, incapacitation, rehabilitation

Four types of crime control perspectives were introduced in this chapter. The first, operational perspective, consisted of people’s views about how the justice system operates (or should operate). We looked at crime control and due process, the system and nonsystem perspectives, the funnel model of justice, and the criminal justice wedding cake. Second, we looked at political perspectives. This is where we were introduced to liberal and conservative perspectives as well as consensus and conflict perspectives. Third, we discussed some other crime control perspectives that were neither operational nor necessarily political. They were concerned with whether faith or fact, crime control or revenue generation, or political or ivory tower thinking dominates criminal justice. Finally, this chapter presented several goals of crime control: deterrence, retribution, incapacitation, and rehabilitation. Each represents a perspective insofar as some people tend to favor one goal over another.
