Explain the difference between the formal and informal criminal justice process

What will be an ideal response?


• In the formal criminal justice model, the process is much like an assembly line. Each step of the process involves a series of routinized operations whose success is gauged primarily by their tendency to pass the case along to a successful conclusion
• On the other hand, the informal criminal justice process, each step in the process is the result of decisions that must be made by those who work in the criminal justice system.
• In the informal criminal justice system there is much discretion involved in the processing of cases, it is not as routinized as the formal criminal justice model would have us believe.
