Crime Control Model

• • Seek to deal with criminal cases quickly and efficiently. Seeking a conviction at any cost.
  • Aim is to punish criminals and stop them committing further crimes.
  • Focus on 'Zero Tolerance' approach. Links to Right Realism theory.
  • Focus on protecting the rights of the victims than the defendant.
  • Argue police should have enhanced powers to ensure a conviction is achieved.
  • Doesn't address the causes of crime or that crime can be deterred through detection and conviction.
• • Introduction of 'bad character' evidence and previous convictions information for courts to consider when deciding a verdict.
  • Removal of the 'double jeopardy' rule for murder and other serious offences.
  • Extended pre-charge detention time for terrorist activities.
  • E.g. Colin Stagg.
