The Role Of The Criminal Justice System In reading the chapter on The Role of the CJ System and the definitions of conflict versus consensus, I never knew that these types of models existed. In the material, it stated that the consensus model of criminal justice argues that the organizations of a criminal justice system either do, or should, work cooperatively to produce justice, as opposed to competitively. On the other hand the conflict model of criminal justice argues that the organizations of a criminal justice system either do, or should, work competitively to produce justices, as opposed to cooperatively. System conflict theory argues that worries over fame, promotion, wages, and success cause the criminal justice system to conflict with itself. This view disputes that there is no true system and points to the role of adversarial processes, in particular, which are seen to be basic to the “system”, and the fact that many criminal justice organizations normally share as little information as possible. One example of conflict within the system is that between the police and prison officials. The model claims that police desire to put criminals into prison whereas prison officials who are concerned about overcrowded facilities may desire to release criminals from prison (early release justice, system, criminal, conflict, model, article, within, court, cia, schwab, one, officials, fact, prison, murder, years, today’s, should, role, police, manslaughter, government, example, employees, convicted, consensus, charge, believe, according, whom, times, states, seattle, said, review, prosecution
