Document Summary
Threat to liberty is crime, crime prevents people from enjoying their freedom. The better we repress crime, the freer a society feels. Like an assembly line, starts with the realizing that the criminal justice system has to handle lots of volume with few resources and not a lot of time. Back laws, a lot of evidence and not enough people to process them. The most valuable evidence is most important, if people can be proven guilty or innocent early on then their case is down. Efficiency is most important, process a lot of cases in a short amount of time. Plea deal- if someone is charge for a crime and set for trial, they can take a plea deal to not go to trial and less of a punishment. Uniformity- if bringing large amount of cases, they treat them all the same to make the process go faster. Finality- want ruling and decisions to be final.
