Crime Control Versus Due Process Models Of Criminal Justice

The text discusses two primary goals of American criminal justice:  the need to enforce the law and maintain order and the need to protect people from injustice. Chapter 1 addresses this issue beginning on p.11 and a synopsis of Herbert Packer’s crime control/due process models of criminal justice are provided in Figure 1-2. The original article by Packer is also available in the Module (sorry for the lengthy read).

Please present your position on the following:

Which of the two models is currently the primary focus of the American criminal justice system and why? Do you think the current situation is appropriate? Is a combination of the two models possible? Explain.

Ray Case study

Ray gains self-confidence from exercising, socializing with the other team workers at his part-time fast-food job, and honing his woodworking skills. He graduates high school. Ray applies to college with the support of his teacher- mentor and gets a full scholarship. He would be the first in his family to attend college. However, his father George becomes sick with lung cancer the summer before his freshman year of college. Ray doesn’t know where to turn. He is estranged from his father’s side of the family due to a fight George had with his brother years ago.

His mother’s side of the family do not live in the area, and he’s never had a close relationship with them. He feels a sense of obligation to George and guilt for what he’d said about wishing him dead, ray never leaves for college, letting the scholarship lapse. He stays and cares for his father until George dies four months later. Now 18, Ray lives alone with a rescue pit bull named Daisy. He has maintained his fast-food job, but after George’s death, he begins to show up at work late, unshowered, and occasionally drunk. Ray’s boss tells him that he understands he’s grieving, but he can’t show up in that state. The boss puts him on probation. If he is late, skips work, or shows up inebriated again, he will be fired. If Ray loses his job, his housing will be in jeopardy as well. Ray’s work friends encourage him to see a social worker.

Throughout the course, you have been following Ray as he develops biologically, psychologically, and socially, as he makes decisions, and as his social environment changes over time. Now imagine Ray as your client. How would knowledge of HBSE inform his case?

Social workers are expected to apply HBSE, person?in environment, and other multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks during the stages of engagement, assessment, and intervention when practicing in the field.

For this Discussion, you begin exploring Ray’s case by considering how HBSE applies when engaging, assessing, and intervening with Ray.

Assignment

Reflect on Ray’s case. How might you use knowledge of HBSE to engage, assess, and intervene in the case?

Explain how you might apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment when engaging, assessing, and intervening with Ray as a social worker.
