The Crime Control Model and the due Process Model in The...

There are two main models in the criminal process, the crime control model and the due process model. The crime control model focuses on repression of crime in a speedy and conclusive way.

Rape is said to consist of three components: penetration of any part of the body by any item, force or threat of force, or sexual contact of any form without the consent of the victim. Silence is not consent, consent can not be freely given under duress, and consent can not be given under the influence of drugs or alcohol (Dean). I believe the Social Process Theories are at work in The Brothel Boy, specifically the theory of differential association. This theory states that criminals are influenced by those around them, if the people around them do not see anything wrong with the crime they will treat it as any other legal action.
