Which model believes finality and rapid punishment are essential, resulting in limited appeals and ignoring procedural errors that do not affect outcome?

• A. Due Process Model
• B. Adversarial System
• C. Crime Control Model
• D. Inquisitorial System

Answer: (C)

The Crime Control Model prioritizes efficiency and public safety by pushing for quick, certain outcomes. It treats finality of decisions as essential and supports rapid punishment, even if that means limiting appeals and overlooking procedural mistakes that do not affect the final result. This approach aims to deter crime and reduce delays in justice, valuing swift action over exhaustive procedural safeguards. This contrasts with approaches that emphasize protecting individual rights and fair procedures (due process), or with systems that emphasize a more exhaustive, investigative process led by judges (inquisitorial) or the adversarial structure where both sides vigorously contest the facts within formal procedures.
