Which model is associated with broad stop-and-arrest powers and fast-track hearings, aimed at reducing court backlogs?

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

Answer: (B)

The Crime Control Model centers on efficiency, deterrence, and rapid processing of cases to curb crime and prevent courts from becoming clogged. It supports broad police powers to stop and arrest and favors streamlined procedures, including fast-track hearings, to move cases quickly from investigation to prosecution and trial. This focus on speed and throughput aims to reduce backlogs and ensure swift justice, even if it means fewer procedural hurdles along the way. In contrast, the other frameworks emphasize protecting individual rights (Due Process) or describe how cases are adjudicated rather than prioritizing speed and mass processing (Adversarial vs Inquisitorial).
