I feel the Due Process should be the model adopted and used exclusively by the U.S. Criminal Justice system. Due process explains that every “criminal” be tried fairly. Each and every person accused of any crime is innocent until proven guilty. Law enforcement officials powers are limited so as to prevent any type of oppression or prejudice towards the accused individual. These “legal technicalities” as Crime Control Model supporters call it, are not there to “handcuff the police,” but more to protect the rights of the defendants that the Bill of Rights expressly secures.…
The Great Lockup The Great Lockup highlights the discrepancies in the criminal justice system that is subject to study in the modern American justice system. It was evident that there was racial discrimination in the investigative process and the eventual incarceration of the people arrested. The statistics indicate that 2 percent of the whites were locked in prison while over 9 percent of Black Americans were locked up. The disparity in the racial composition of the people incarcerated based on race shows that the policy of discrimination in the police force existed and some reform needed to be carried out for correct mechanisms to be initiated for a better future to be realized.…
For the juvenile justice system many organizations exist and many have competing goals. It is argued that because the juvenile justice system is composed of so many different organizations that it is a nonsystem and that the only thing that makes it a system is the flow of cases form the domain of one organization to another. This is a process that begins at intake and extends to judicial disposition with the organizations only working together with the common goal of managing their client population and response to offenders. Competing goals exist because each organizations have specialized expertise and unique perspectives and interests, which differ from the expertise and orientations of personnel in other organizations that they share the responsibility of responding to offenders. Often times these organizations make cases for the response that seems most fitting and tolerates or accommodates input from others.…

In organizational structure you have an informal structure which varies in the criminal justice system. Informal structure is the unofficial goals, activities, communication networks, beliefs, and leadership that emerge within a formal organization (Stojkovic 2015).

In the age of mass incarceration, a failed criminal justice system has left the United States with the largest imprisoned population in the world. There are many different elements that have helped play a part in this flawed criminalization regime which can all be traced back to the early history of the country. The 14th amendment though serving as a protection for citizens has with the addition of the war on crime helped disenfranchise much of the population in turn giving whites surrounding prisons unanticipated power. It is the creation of power relations throughout the country 's history that have helped cement the current criminal justice system into what it is today. Power relations such as the concept of “Property”, “Social death”, and…

In 1961 President Eisenhower warned that the government needed to guard against the influence of the military industrial complex (Kraska 206). He knew there was potential for the rise of misplaced power (206). Much like the military, the criminal justice has seen the rise of an industrial complex within its system. Kraska defines an industrial complex as when the “private sector involvement and influence blends with public sector organizations and objectives,” (196). The criminal justice industrial complex views the criminal justice system as an entity whose primary purpose is to actively pursue self-serving agendas of survival and growth.…
