Chapter One Crime and Justice in the United States
2.
2
Chapter Objectives After completing this chapter, you should be able to: • Describe how the type of crime routinely presented by the media compares with crime routinely committed. • Identify institutions of social control and explain what makes criminal justice an institution of social control. • Summarize how the criminal justice system responds to crime. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
3.
3
Chapter Objectives • Explain why criminal justice in the United States is sometimes considered a nonsystem. • Point out the major differences between Packer’s crime control and due process models. • Describe the costs of criminal justice in the United States and compare those costs among federal, state, and local governments. • Explain how myths about crime and criminal justice affect the criminal justice system. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
4.

Crime in the United States • Every day we are flooded with reports of crime in the news media. Crime is seen in television docudramas, fictional crime shows and an entire network is dedicated to bringing us the latest breaking news concerning crime and criminal justice. • It’s no wonder crime and criminal justice are a concern of the American public. • However, the sensational crimes reported by the media do not provide a very accurate picture of the crimes typically committed nor do they accurately depict the kinds of crime to which police respond on a daily basis. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
5.
5
Crime in the United States • A more accurate picture of crimes typically committed can be seen by examining Table 1.1 on the following slide. • Keep in mind that the police rarely respond to the sensational crimes reported by the media. • The calls to which they respond often do not involve crimes at all. • The role and responsibilities of the police will be further explored in chapter 6. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

7 Criminal Justice:
An Institution of Social Control • Criminal justice is an institution of social control, as are: – The family – Schools – Organized religion – The media – The law Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
8.
8 Criminal Justice:
An Institution of Social Control Defining an institution of social control: • An organization that persuades people, through subtle and not-so-subtle means to abide by the dominant values of society. • Subtle means of persuasion include gossip and peer pressure, whereas expulsion and incarceration are examples of not-so-subtle means. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
9.
9 Criminal Justice:
An Institution of Social Control • As an institution of social control, criminal justice differs from the others in two important ways: – It is concerned only with behavior that is defined as criminal. – It is society’s “last line of defense” against people who refuse to abide by dominant social values and commit crimes. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
10.
10
Criminal Justice: The System • Criminal justice in the United States is administered by a loose confederation of more than 50,000 agencies of federal, state, and local governments. • Together they are commonly referred to as the “criminal justice system.” • The police • The courts = The Criminal Justice System • Corrections Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
11.
11
Criminal Justice: The System • The criminal justice system operates differently in some jurisdictions, but there are also similarities. • A jurisdiction is: – A politically defined geographical area. – For example, a city, a county, a state, or a nation. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
12.
12 Criminal Justice: The
System: An Overview • The following slides provide a brief overview of a typical criminal justice response to criminal behavior. • Figure 1.2, the next slide, is a graphic representation of the process. • A more detailed examination of the criminal justice response to crime and delinquency will be provided later. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

15.
15 The Criminal Justice
System: The Police • The criminal justice response to crime begins when a crime is reported to the police, or when the police discover a crime has been committed. – Police investigate the crime. – If the investigation is successful, police arrest a suspect. – After the arrest, the suspect is booked at the police station. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
16.
16
Arrest and Booking Arrest • The seizing and detaining of a person by • lawful authority. Booking • The administrative recording of an arrest. • Typically, the suspect’s name, the charge, and perhaps the suspect’s fingerprints or photograph are entered in the police blotter. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
17.
17
Courts • After a suspect has been arrested and booked, a prosecutor reviews the facts of the case and the available evidence. • The prosecutor decides whether to charge the suspect with a crime or crimes. • If no charges are filed, the suspect must be released. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
18.
18
Charging Documents There are three kinds of charging documents: • A complaint – a document specifying that an offense has been committed. • An information – a document that outlines the formal charge against a suspect. • A grand jury indictment – a written accusation by a grand jury that a person has committed a crime. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
19.
19
Misdemeanor and Ordinance Violation • If the offense is a misdemeanor or an ordinance violation, then the prosecutor may prepare a complaint. – Misdemeanor: A less serious crime generally punishable by a fine or by incarceration in jail for not more than one year. – Ordinance violation: Usually the violation of a law of a city or town. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
20.
20
Felony • If the offense is a felony, an information is used in about half the states. • A grand jury indictment is used in the other half. – Felony: A serious offense punishable by death or by confinement in prison for more than one year. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
21.
21
Arrest Warrant • On rare occasions, police may obtain an arrest warrant from a lower-court judge before making an arrest (sometimes considered a charging document). – Arrest warrant: A written order directing law enforcement officers to arrest a person. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
22.
22
Pretrial Stages • After the charges have been filed, the suspect, who is now the defendant, is brought before a lower-court judge for an initial appearance and given formal notice of the charges against him/her and his/her constitutional rights (for example, the right to counsel). Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
23.
23
Defendant Initial Appearance Defendant • A person against whom a legal action is brought, a warrant is issued, or an indictment is found. Initial Appearance • A pretrial stage in which a defendant is brought before a lower court to be given notice of the charge(s) and advised of his/her constitutional rights. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
24.
24
Pretrial Stages • In the case of a misdemeanor or an ordinance violation, a summary trial may be held. A summary trial is: – An immediate trial without a jury. • In the case of a felony, a hearing is held to determine whether the defendant should be released or whether there is probable cause to hold the defendant for a preliminary hearing. Probable cause is: – A standard of proof that requires evidence sufficient to make a reasonable person believe that, more likely than not, the proposed action is justified. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
25.
25
Pretrial Stages • If the suspect is to be held for a preliminary hearing, bail may be set by the judge. – Bail: usually a monetary guarantee deposited with the court to ensure that suspects or defendants will appear at a later stage in the criminal justice process. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
26.
26
Pretrial Stages • If the judge at a preliminary hearing finds probable cause, the defendant is bound over for possible indictment or arraignment. • In a felony case, a preliminary hearing is: – A pretrial stage at which a judge determines whether there is probable cause. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
27.
27
Pretrial Stages • A primary purpose of the grand jury is to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that the accused committed the crime with which the prosecutor has charged him/her with. • A grand jury is: – A group of citizens who meet in closed sessions for a specified period to investigate charges coming from preliminary hearings and to fulfill other responsibilities. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
28.
28
Pretrial Stages • Once an indictment or information is filed with the trial court, the defendant is scheduled for arraignment. • About 95 percent of criminal defendants plead guilty to the charges against them, in an arrangement called plea bargaining. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
29.
29
Arraignment Plea Bargaining • The arraignment is a pretrial stage to hear the information or indictment and to allow a plea. • Plea bargaining is the practice whereby a specific sentence is imposed if the accused pleads guilty to an agreed-upon charge or charges instead of going to trial. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
30.
30
Trial • If a defendant pleads not guilty or not guilty by reason of insanity, a trial date is set. – 5 percent of criminal cases go to trial. – 3 percent of criminal cases are decided in a bench trial. • Bench Trial: A trial before a judge, without a jury. – 2 percent of criminal cases are decided in a jury trial. – See Figure on slide 28. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
31.
31
Trial •If the defendant is •The judge (and found guilty sometimes the jury) as charged begins to consider a sentence. •If the defendant •The defendant is found is released. not guilty Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
32.
32
Corrections • Currently, five types of punishment are used in the United States: – Fines – Probation – Intermediate punishments – Imprisonment – Death • As long as a judge imposes one or a combination of the five punishments, and the sentence length and type are within statutory limits, the judge is free to set any sentence. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
33.
33
Corrections • Defendants can appeal their convictions either on legal or constitutional grounds. Legal Grounds Constitutional Grounds Defects in jury Illegal search and seizure selection Improper questioning by Improper admission of police evidence at trial Incompetent assistance Mistaken from counsel interpretations of law Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
34.
34
Corrections • A defendant sentenced to prison may be eligible for parole after serving a portion of his sentence. • Parole is: – The conditional release of prisoners before they have served their full sentences. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
35.
35 Criminal Justice: The
Nonsystem • Police, courts, and corrections are commonly referred to as the criminal justice system. • However, the depiction of criminal justice or, more specifically, of the interrelationships and inner workings of its various components-as a “system” may be inappropriate and misleading for at least two reasons. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
36.
36 Criminal Justice: The
Nonsystem • First, there is no single “criminal justice system” in the United States. • Rather there is a loose confederation of many independent criminal justice agencies at all levels of government. • This loose confederation is spread throughout the country with different, sometimes, overlapping jurisdictions. • The only requirement they all share is that they follow procedures permitted by the U.S. Constitution. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
37.
37 Criminal Justice: The
Nonsystem • Second, if a system is thought of as a smoothly operating set of arrangements and institutions directed toward the achievement of common goals, one is hard-pressed to call the operation of criminal justice in the United States a system. • Instead, because there is considerable conflict and confusion between different agencies of criminal justice, a more accurate representation may be that of a nonsystem. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
38.
38 Two Models
of Criminal Justice • In his influential book entitled The Limits of the Criminal Sanction, legal scholar Herbert Packer describes the criminal justice process in the United States as the outcome of competition between two value systems. • Those two value systems represents two ends of a value continuum. • Figure 1.4 depicts this continuum. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
39.
39 Two Models of
Criminal Justice Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
40.
40
The Crime Control Model • In the crime control model, the control of criminal behavior is by far the most important function of criminal justice. • The primary focus of this model is on efficiency in the operation of the criminal justice process. • The key to the operation of the crime control model is “a presumption of guilt.” • In other words, advocates of this model assume that if the police have expended the time and effort to arrest a suspect and the prosecutor has formally charged the suspect with a crime, then the suspect must be guilty. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
41.
41
The Due Process Model • The due process model is based on the doctrine of legal guilt and the presumption of innocence. • According to the doctrine of legal guilt, people are not to be held guilty of crimes merely on a showing based on reliable evidence, that in all probability they did in fact do what they are accused of doing. • In other words, it is not enough that people are factually guilty in the due process model; they must also be legally guilty. • Fundamentally, the due process model defends the idea of personal freedom and its protection. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
42.
42 Crime Control
Versus Due Process • Since the mid-1970s the crime control model has dominated the practice of criminal and juvenile justice in the United States. • But elements of the due process model remain evident in the process of justice. • How long this present trend will continue is anybody’s guess. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
43.
43
The Costs of Criminal Justice • Each year in the United States an enormous amount of money is spent on criminal justice. • In 2004, local, state, and federal governments spent a total of $194 billion in direct expenditures for the civil and criminal justice systems. • See Table 1.2 for additional information. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
44.
44 The Costs of
Criminal Justice Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
45.
45 The
Costs of Criminal Justice • State and local governments pay most of the costs of criminal justice. • Generally speaking: – In 2004, local governments spent 68 percent of the total spent on police protection – In 2004, local governments spent nearly 31 percent of the total on corrections. Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
