In the context of the future of the administration of justice, which of the following is an argument put forward by the advocates of the due process model?
Hide answer choicesÂ
The expanded use of pretrial detention will encourage more factually guilty offenders to plead guilty.
After trial, during the appellate process, the availability of legal counsel will reduce the speed with which a case can be brought to closure.
Legal counsel must be made available immediately after arrest to prevent the likelihood of innocent people being subject to harassment by agents of the state.
Both exceptions to pretrial release—nonappearance and potential threat to society—could be handled only by using pretrial detention.

In the context of the future of the administration of justice, which of the following is an argument put forward by the advocates of the crime control model?
Hide answer choicesÂ
The right to appeal is a significant and indispensable part of the criminal justice process in which earlier errors and infringements of rights can be corrected.
It is a waste of time and money to conduct a preliminary testing of the evidence and charges imposed because prosecutors have little reason to pursue cases that are unlikely to lead to conviction.
Prior to trial (e.g., during interrogation), providing counsel to a suspect greatly increases the ability of the police to investigate a case.
People accused of crimes should be entitled to remain free until they are found guilty unless they are unlikely to appear when required or they pose a significant threat to society.
