What is the primary objective of the American Criminal Justice System

What is the primary objective of the American Criminal Justice System? To preserve social order, uphold the law, all while defending people from injustice. (In 1964, Herbert L. Packer published a paper entitled “Two Models of the Criminal Process”). ( ) Crime Control and Due Process were the two models Packer used in explaining the contrasting outlooks over the preferred way to control criminals and crime in our nation. The Due Process targets a liberal way of criminal justice that supports a criminal’s rights. Contradictory to the Due Process model the Crime Control model’s focal point has a more conservative perspective which focuses on defending society from criminals by controlling criminal activities and justice.
