66. Identify the two ways described in your textbook in which criminal justice differs from other institutions of social control.

Full file at />
Explanation:

The two ways are as follows: 1) The role of criminal justice is restricted officially to persuading people to abide by a
limited range of social values: those whose violation constitutes crime. Behaviors are of no official concern to criminal
justice unless they violate the criminal law. 2) Criminal justice is generally society's "last line of defense" against people

who refuse to abide by dominant social values and commit crimes.

67. List the three principal kinds of charging documents and describe for which type of offense each is used.

Explanation:

The three principal kinds of charging documents are a complaint, an information, and a grand jury indictment. 1) A
complaint in many jurisdictions is used if the offense is a misdemeanor (a less serious crime) or an ordinance violation
(usually the violation of a law of a city or town). 2) An information is used in about half the states if the offense is a felony
and the state does not use a grand jury. 3) A grand jury indictment is used in about half the states if the offense is a felony.

Explanation:

The appellate court can affirm the verdict of the lower court and let it stand; modify the verdict of the lower court, without
totally reversing it; reverse the verdict of the lower court, which requires no further court action; reverse the decision and
remand, or return, the case to the court of original jurisdiction for either a retrial or resentencing.

Short Answer Question
70. Explain the two reasons the American criminal justice system is a nonsystem.

Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis
Level: Moderate
Topic: Criminal Justice: The System

Explanation:

The two reasons are: 1) There is no single system, but instead a loose confederation of more than 50,000 agencies on
federal, state, and local levels. 2) Rather than being a smoothly operating set of arrangements and institutions, the agencies
of the criminal justice system interact with one another but generally operate independently, often causing problems for
one another.

71. Explain the doctrine of legal guilt.

Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension

Test Bank for Introduction to Criminal Justice 8th Edition by Bohm
Explanation:

According to the doctrine of legal guilt, people are not to be held guilty of crimes merely on a showing, based on reliable
evidence, that in all probability they did in fact do what they are accused of doing. It is not enough that people are
factually guilty; they must also be legally guilty. This means that the integrity of due-process rights must be maintained.

72. Your textbook identifies nine due-process rights that affect the determination of legal guilt. Name five of them.

Explanation:

Answers can include any of the following: protection against double jeopardy; protection against compelled selfincrimination; a speedy and public trial; an impartial jury of the state and district where the crime occurred; notice of the
nature and cause of the accusation; the right to confront opposing witnesses; compulsory process for obtaining favorable
witnesses; the right to counsel; the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.

73. Your neighbor realizes you are studying criminal justice and asks for your opinion regarding his cousin's recent encounter
with the law. It seems that cousin Michael, a 25-year-old and a new homeowner, had a fight with his neighbor, Jack.
Michael had just planted some new roses on what he thought was his property when Jack came outside and claimed the
roses were on his property. At first, Michael tried to handle the situation calmly, but when Jack said he would pull out the
roses, Michael and Jack started shouting loudly at one another. A friend called the police, who responded and warned both

Michael and Jack that they needed to calm down or they could be charged with a misdemeanor for disturbing the peace.
After the police left, Jack waited and then stole the roses from out of the ground and was observed by Michael's newlyinstalled video cameras as the culprit. Michael went to the police and signed a complaint for felony larceny due to the cost
of the roses. Now, your neighbor wants to know what is likely to happen to Jack. Explain what is likely to occur by
outlining the stages from arrest to the possible disposition of the case, using either the crime control or due process model.
Assume this is Jack's first offense and that he fully admits to taking the roses.

Explanation:

Answers will vary but should include a discussion of the police, courts and corrections. They should at least briefly
identify the stages of the arrest, booking, preliminary hearing, arraignment, standard of proof and likelihood of plea
bargaining. Corrective measures answers will vary depending on whether the student applies a due process or crime
control model.

74. Using your local law enforcement jurisdiction as an example, gather the most recently published crime statistics, as well as
a review of recent headlines, and prepare an answer to the following scenario:
Mary, charged with a felony burglary, has been indicted by a grand jury and is facing trial next month. Given the history
of your jurisdiction's key players in the police department, court, and corrections, will she likely face a due process or
crime control model? Why? How, if at all, will this vary from recent trends within the U.S.?

Explanation:

Answers will vary according to jurisdictions but should include a discussion of liberalism and conservatism as reflected in
each of the two models, and likelihood of how the current presidential administration will impact these models.
Discussions of this are reflected in the text under "Crime Control versus Due Process."
