Abstract Details

1991, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, History.
This dissertation contains a comparative legal and historical study of the criminal justice systems of the United States and Canada, focusing in particular on the widely conducted practice of plea bargaining or plea negotiation. As a point of reference, the observations of Hagan and Leon are examined, which used Herbert Packer's "due process" and "crime control" paradigms, and concluded that the United States criminal justice system tends to fit the "due process" model while the Canadian system tends to fit the "crime control" model. The analysis shows that when the discretionary practice of plea bargaining is taken into consideration, the reverse is true. It also suggests that the quality of the United States criminal justice system could benefit by antidemocratic changes within the judiciary.
