The Crime Control Model and the Due Process Model are both important to our criminal courts and they play a major part on the decision making process. These models are different in many ways, but they do have a few similar views. Both models believe that criminals who are proven guilty and break the law should be punished. They also have the same goal which is to deter crime, however, they take a different approach.
The crime control model main goal is to apprehend, convict, and punish offenders. This model has a conservative approach and the penalties are a lot harsher. Crime control mode focus is the repression of criminal conduct. In my opinion the crime control model view a person guilty until their innocence is proven.

This model also make sure that when authorities arrested the individual that they followed legal procedures when finding their evidence and that they did have probable cause. The due process model, “emphasizes the need to reform people through rehabilitation”. For example, in the Casey Anthony case that took place on July 2008, Casey Anthony was not found guilty of murdering her daughter who was found near her home, she also was seen out partying while knowing her daughter was missing, and she also gave many false stories when questioned about her daughter. Although, many would argue like myself and say she was guilty and the jury was able to prove that she was guilty, there reasoning for not charging her with the murder case was because they didn’t have enough evidence to prove that she did indeed murder her daughter. When they did locater he daughter and the forensic tested finger prints and investigated they weren’t able to link her to her daughter’s death. In this case, the crime control model was used and since they couldn’t find enough facts to prove her guilty, a “baby killer” walked away free. I disagree with the way authorities handle this case and I feel that if the due process model was used there would have been better
