Frankpledge System: An early policing method where ten homes would be grouped together into a parish with every adult male being in charge of one another, then several parishes would form a shire under the watch of a shire-reeve. An example of the use of the Frankpledge system would be how the kings decide which shire-reeve would be in charge of which shire. Sheriff: The word sheriff derives from the old English word “shire-reeve”, which back then were in charge of a single shire under the authority of the king. When observing the similarities between a shire-reeve, and a sheriff, is that a shire back then is about the same size as a county which sheriff is elected to enforce the law. Shire-reeve: A shire-reeve is based off an old English term which means …show more content…
An example of its use was as an example for early American law enforcement. Private Security: An industry which provide security to the public which can cover three areas the employment of security guards, security equipment, and consulting services. To differentiate private security and private policing is that in private policing is the use of private security services. Chapter Two Crime Control Model: A model of law enforcement which emphasizes an importance on reducing crime rates at the expense of some personal liberties. To better remember the crime control model is to compare the model to an assembly line. Due Process Model: A model of law enforcement which emphasizes on a person’s individual rights that earning a conviction. A better way to remember the due process model is to think about an obstacle course that the legal system must overcome before they can hand out a decision. Confederation: A confederation is a system of government which lacks a central government. An example of a confederation would to look back to the US Articles of Confederation and the result of lacking a central
The Continental Congress, renamed the Confederation Congress after the Articles of Confederation were ratified, was not an ineffectual body. It led the United States through a war against Great Britain, gained independence, negotiated the Treaty of Paris, and set up an unprecedented system of government. Ultimately, however, this government did not solve many of the new nation’s problems. The ruling document of this Congress, the Articles of Confederation, created a government without the power necessary to perform the tasks it was charged with and claimed the states were sovereign nations while depriving them of essential powers.
Confederation- a group of individual states that are in an alliance, but the independent states each have more power than the central government
During the articles, the national government consisted of a single house of congress. There was no judicial branch of government, only authority to mediate. The government, formed by the articles, was more of a friendship between the states; this government was also very dependent on the states. The Articles of Confederation left great concerns with the people of th...
The Articles of Confederation was the United States first attempt at creating a democratic government. Instead of giving power to the central government they divided it up among the states (Kelly). This fact left the Articles with many weaknesses that ultimately led it to fail. The lack of a strong central government led to economic disorganization, no central leadership and an ineffective legislative, all which led to its downfall (Brackemyre). Leaving power to the states left the nation in a state of economic disorganization. Without the national government having the power to levy taxes, it was left with the states (Murphy). The legislature only had the right to request taxes, and it was left up to the states how they wanted to raise them, but they oftentimes weren't (Brackemyre). There was also no uniform system of currency which made trade between states difficult. The fact that states instead of Congress regulated trade led to a lack...
Federalism is a system where a particular country has divided its government structure and power between a strong central government and a local government that forms constituent political units. Therefore the federal system forms an association between the two governments. The system came to existence as part of the solution to the problems that faced the federal government especially when it came to exercise of authority. The constitution only allowed for continental congress to sign treaties and call on war but in reality it had now enough resources to carry out the activities.
The Articles of Confederation were incapable of providing the United States with an effective form of government. The Articles of Confederation presided weakly over the government as it allowed little or no power to tax, control trade, and branches of government were missing. In addition to this, the thirteen states acted as separate nations and the national government had little control over them.
The due process model points out the human error factor in evidence gathering and places emphasis on the adversarial trial process by which the prosecution has to prove the accused party is guilty (Aviram, 2011). This due process model is seen in many popular culture television shows in America today like Law & Order and CSI, however it is not an accurate representation of the criminal justice system as a whole. Bargaining, or making a plea deal with the prosecution is a trait emphasized in the crime control model but it is also common practice in the American criminal justice system (Aviram, 2011). While the due process model has several positive aspects it seems to work too well in the United States; as of 2008 the U.S. had 2.3 million people incarcerated which indicates the due process model is working as described but it is also unprepared to account for the social consequences of the existing prison system that is perpetuated by guilty verdicts ("Criminal Justice Fact Sheet", 2016). The due process model, although slower, gives more rights to the defendant and ensures the legal system works toward a resolution in the fairest way possible. Unlike the crime control model, due process works and works without infringing upon the constitution rights of the
In conclusion, the Articles of Confederation were a valiant effort at sufficient government, but failed because of their inability to solve peacetime economics, their lack of regulated dominion over citizens that encouraged rebellion, as well as weak system of foreign affairs. The Articles did serve as a segue to the United States Constitution, but there was a reason that the Founding Fathers completely scrapped the Articles to form the government that is familiar today. After finally overcoming the fear of a monarchy, Americans soon agreed that some type of executive government was necessary to unify the states, as long as it had some limitations and “checks and balances.” The Articles of Confederation featured commendable points, but they were unsuccessful in regards to overall efficiency and encouraging unity.

The two models of crime that have been opposing each other for years are the due process model and the crime control model. The due process model is the principle that an individual cannot be deprived of life, liberty, or property without appropriate legal procedures and safeguards. ( Answers.Com) Any person that is charged with a crime is required to have their rights protected by the criminal justice system under the due process model. The crime control model for law enforcement is based on the assumption of absolute reliability of police fact-finding, treats arrestees as if they are already found guilty. (Crime control model) This paper will compare and contrast the role that the due process and crime control models have on shaping criminal procedure policy.
One of the benefits of due process is demonstrated in the Belshaw case. The inquisitorial system of justice is based on crime control; the Swiss police had a hard time in Canada with Mr. Belshaw, because of his right to due process, under Canadian law. Both systems of justice share common beliefs, for example, they both look for proof beyond a reasonable doubt. In Canada we fight about facts and laws, where-as the inquisitorial system searches for the facts. The adversarial system has a separation of powers with the police, crown, defense, and the judge. It is quite different for the inquisitorial system of justice, the police do the arrest, then they present the facts to crown, which then decide if they have a case and turn over the evidence to the judge. The only problem is that the judge decides what will lead them to the truth. How any evidence was collected is irrelevant. In due process if the police obtain evidence and violate the law or a persons charter of rights and freedoms the judge will exclude the evidence from the hearing, even if it would help or prove that the person is guilty. These two systems of justice are generated in democratic traditions.
According to the Federalists in the early stages of the American republic, a strong central government was necessary to provide uniform supervision to the states thus aiding in the preservation of the Union. This necessity for a more organized central government was a result of the ineffectiveness of the Article of Confederation’s government that was without a unifying government body. One component of this philosophy was the creation of an executive and other federal branche...
A Federal system is a system of government where power and sovereignty are shared constitutionally between a central authority and subunits. The central authority retains primary sovereignty while the subunits (state, province etc.) retain a degree of autonomy. Examples of federal countries include Ethiopia, Germany, and USA etc.
The term crime control is a method that is used to help tackle crime, in terms of reducing the amount of crime that is committed. This model is describe like that of a conveyor belt because of the speedy process it uses to determine assumed guilt of suspected offender.
