Definition
- Conservatives and liberals are virtually defined by their commitment to either crime control or the U.S. Constitution, and together their divergent views continue to fuel the debate over which priorities ought to be emphasized in the criminal justice system. To conservatives, the most important function served by the criminal justice system is to ensure human freedom by allowing citizens to be secure in person and property from the actions of criminals; thus, reducing lawlessness should be the system's primary goal.
