Changing Public Views of Rights vs. Order

• 1960s and 1970s: known as the civil rights era
– Strong emphasis on individual rights
– Guaranteed the rights of defendants and attempted
to understand the causes of crime and violence
• Today, we have shifted away from the offender as victim
and now see the offender as a dangerous social predator
• Late-2010: Chelsea’s Law was passed by the CA senate
• Chelsea’s Law increases penalties, parole provisions,
and oversight for child sex offenders
• Link to elements of Chelsea’s Law
• Example of new focus on victim
rights, deterrence, retribution

Initial (First) Appearance – Defendant is:
• Formally notified of charges
• Advised of rights
• Given the opportunity to retain a lawyer or have one appointed
• Typically afforded the opportunity for bail
Preliminary Hearing - Occurs before a judicial officer. The state must
show a plausible account that defendant committed a felony in this
jurisdiction. The defense may evaluate and challenge the state’s case.
Information – A formal written accusation submitted to a court by a
prosecutor, following a successful “prelim.” (bindover)
Indictment – A formal written accusation submitted to the court by a
grand jury, alleging that defendant has committed a crime, usually a
felony
20. © 2012 by Pearson Higher Education, Inc

1.5 Criminal Justice Process
Arraignment - Hearing before the court having jurisdiction in a criminal
case in which the…
• Identity of the defendant is established
• Defendant is informed of the charges against him/her
• Defendant is informed of his/her rights and asked to enter a
plea
Trial – Examination of the issues of fact and law for the purpose of
reaching a judgment of conviction or acquittal
Sentencing – After conviction, the trial judge will sentence the
defendant; options may range from fines to the death penalty. Both
sides are free to argue, with relaxed evidentiary rules, and the
defendant has a right of allocution (right to speak to the court).
Corrections – Carries out the sentence imposed by the court, whether
supervision (probation/parole), fines, restitution, imprisonment
Reentry – Following corrections, an offender may be returned to society

Learning Objectives
After this lecture, you should be able to complete the following Learning Outcomes
Due process means procedural fairness and generally includes:
• A written law creating and defining the offense and penalties
• An impartial tribunal with jurisdictional authority over the case
• Accusation in proper form with notice and opportunity to defend
• Trial according to established procedure
• Discharge from restraints and obligations unless convicted

1.6
Herbert L. Packer identified two models in 1968:
1. Crime Control Model
2. Due Process Model
Crime Control
• Emphasizes efficient arrest
and conviction of offenders
• “Assembly line” justice,
focused on cooperation and
efficiency
• Interests of community are
favored over individual rights
Due Process
• Emphasizes individual rights
• “Obstacle course” justice,
focused on law enforcement
following rules, protecting
defendants’ rights
• Society would rather guilty
person go free than convict
innocent person
Crime Control and Due Process
While these are often assumed to be opposing goals, the ultimate goal is
crime control through due process.

The Role of the Courts in Defining Rights1.6
26
• Rights are open to interpretation
• Many criminal justice standards were set in the 1960s by the
Warren Court
– Example: Gideon v. Wainwright (1963) – The Sixth
Amendment guarantees a right to counsel
– In Gideon, the Court interpreted that to include free, court-
appointed counsel for those unable to afford counsel

The Ultimate Goal:
Crime Control through Due Process1.6
27
• Crime control through due process
– A system of social control that is fair to those it
processes
– Law enforcement infused with the recognition of
individual rights
• Social control
– The use of sanctions and rewards within a group to
influence and shape the behavior of individual
members of that group

The Academic Study of Criminal Justice1.7

• The academic study of criminal
justice began in the late 1920s,
when August Vollmer
persuaded the University of
California to offer courses
• Early criminal justice education
was practice-oriented
• Primarily focused on applying
general management principles
to the administration of police
agencies to increase
organizational effectiveness

Multiculturalism and Diversity
in Criminal Justice1.8
33
Multiculturalism – The existence within one society of diverse
groups that maintain unique cultural identities while
frequently accepting and participating in the larger
society’s legal and political systems
Diversity – Varying values, perspectives, and behaviors
characteristic of groups within society; these can have a
significant impact on the justice system
Challenges for criminal justice:
• Confusion between police and non-English-speaking persons
• Disagreement over legal concepts of right/wrong/justice
• Immigrants may distrust police, may be unwilling to report crime
Opportunities for criminal justice:
• US culture can learn from other cultures
• Diversity in hiring can connect communities

The criminal justice system strives to treat all fairly and equally.
The system balances the needs for public order and individual rights.
The system consists of 3 major components: police, courts, & corrections.
The system is dynamic and reacts to changes in crime patterns.
A criminal case proceeds through a defined set of stages.
CHAPTER SUMMARY

Notas del editor 1850-1880 – Crime epidemic, immigration, Civil War (1861-65). Destruction, $ spent, displaced families, trained soldiers w/no jobs
1920-1933 – Organized crime grows, Prohibition
1960-1970 – Civil rights movement encouraged disrespect for authority, WWII baby boomers reach 20s, crime growth
1970s – Murder, rape & assault reports grow
1980s – Drug crimes grow
1992 – Rodney King beating
1990s – 1995 Ok City, 1999 Columbine. Get Tough on Crime era
2000s – Police more pro-active, global perspective
2001 – 9/11 Terrorist attacks
2002 – Sarbanes/Oxley Act stiffened financial crime penalties
2009 – Bernard Madoff brought white collar crime into focus
1960’s/1970’s: The focus of individual rights through the civil rights movement impacted the criminal justices system and how the system operates.
As we move throughout the semester, we will discuss various cases and find that many important decisions came during the civil rights movement.
1980s: With the increase in the sale and use of drug, we had the “War on Drugs” which many credit with changing the face of those who are arrested and increasing the corrections population.
1992: The benefit of the Rodney King case is that the policies and procedures of law enforcement were captured on video tape and put under an intense public microscope.
9/11: This also changed how we viewed “racial profiling” and “privacy”, and forced us to reexamine the issues of individual rights and public order: this ties directly into the Patriot Act.
2006 = Ken Lay and the Enron scandal is a great example to discuss. 7 15 16 18 19 20 22 29 Lecture Notes:
Discuss Multiculturalism vs. Diversity terminology. Often discussed in terms of race, but broader than that.
Multiculturalism – Diverse groups within one society that maintain unique cultural identities as they participate in the society’s legal and political systems
Diversity – Variety. Diverse values, perspectives, behaviors of multicultural groups in society impact the justice system.
Challenges – immigration, distrust/fear of law; disagreement about right/wrong/justice
Opportunities – wide range of cultures from which to learn
