	Rule of Law: Model Codes for Post-Conflict Criminal Justice: U.S. Institute of Peace
		From 2001-2006, the model codes were drafted in consultation with over 250 leading experts from all around the world and from a variety of backgrounds, including international and national judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, police, corrections officials, human rights advocates, military lawyers and international, comparative and criminal law scholars.
		Substantive criminal law regulates what conduct is deemed to be criminal, the conditions under which a person may be held criminally responsible and the relevant penalties that apply to a person convicted of a criminal offense.

		Criminal law (also known as penal law) is the body of statutory and common law that deals with crime and the legal punishment of criminal offenses.
		Criminal law is intended to enforce social control by discouraging behavior that is harmful to societal well-being, as well as behavior that challenges the government's authority and legitimacy.
		Criminal law has been seen as a system of regulating the behavior of individuals and groups in relation to societal norms whereas civil law is aimed primarily at the relationship between private individuals and their rights and obligations under the law.

		Criminal justice policy is influenced by philosophies held by politicians, which may be influenced by criminological theories and research, among other factors.
		The criminal justice process begins when a crime is reported to the police, or in some instances the police may discover the crime through informants, proactive investigation, or other means.
		Criminal justice is distinct from the field of criminology, which involves the study of crime as a social phenomena, causes of crime, criminal behavior, and other aspects of crime.

	OPDV Model Policy: Criminal Justice, Legal, and Judicial
		Criminal justice and legal professionals should anticipate that, at times, legitimate survival and safety strategies employed by victims (such as unwillingness to give information, resistance to testifying, recanting all or part of previous statements) may come into conflict with the goals or needs of the legal system.
		Criminal justice agencies and courts should develop mechanisms to ensure that there will be timely issuance and expedited execution of warrants in cases where a suspect has left the scene of a domestic incident, and there is probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed.
		Criminal justice agencies, probation and other community corrections professionals, and courts should ensure that alleged violations of orders of protection and violations of conditions of release, probation, or parole, are prosecuted with the same vigor as other crimes.

	General Information
		Conflict management programs have proven that young people and adults can quickly learn to use effective problem-solving concepts and skills, if they are given an opportunity to practice the new skills.
		One approach for using conflict resolution in the classroom is the "conflict resolution corner" model.
		A comprehensive approach increases the chances that conflict resolution skills will be taught to children and youth in homes, community centers, juvenile courts and juvenile correction centers by family members, friends of the family, trained peers, leaders of community youth activities, probation officers or social workers.

		The U. Department of Justice Index Crimes will be studied along with other crimes; which will be selected on the basis of their contemporary administrative significance and their effect on the criminal justice system in particular.
		Increasingly, practitioners in the American criminal justice systems are required to interact with their counterparts, as well as citizens from other national jurisdictions.
		Specific attention will be given to the dual and often conflicting goals of community protection and positive offender change with which the practitioner is typically confronted, the types of policies and programs implemented to meet these goals, and their effectiveness.

	Conflict model (criminal justice) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		System conflict theory argues that worries over fame, promotions, wages, and success cause the criminal justice system to conflict with itself.
		This perspective argues that there is no true system and points to the role of adversarial processes, in particular, which are seen to be basic to the "system", and the fact that many criminal justice organizations habitually share as little information as possible.
		The model argues that police desire to put criminals into prison whereas prison officials who are concerned about overcrowded facilities may desire to release criminals from prison.

	Criminal Justice
		Conflict between retributive feelings, even virtuous ones, and sympathetic feelings (which at least initially seem virtuous) may simply reflect a real moral conflict, and to discount one side of the conflict in order to preserve theoretical coherence might well compromise theoretical accuracy.
		To seek the suffering of the offender is just one of many possible responses to crime and injury done to us, and although criminal justice has traditionally taken the imposition of retributive punishment as its primary, often sole objective, this need not remain the case.
		In our system of criminal justice, we don’t want to model and therefore implicitly endorse as means of behavior control the very conditions we know produce and reinforce manipulative egotism and pathological brutality.

	Model Codes for Post-Conflict Criminal Justice Project - Irish Centre for Human Rights
		From 2001-2006, the model codes were drafted in consultation with close to 300 leading experts from all around the world and from a variety of backgrounds, including international and national judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, police, corrections officials, human rights advocates, military lawyers and international, comparative and criminal law scholars.
		Where the pre-existing laws are being updated or overhauled, the model codes could be used as a “gap filler”, supplementing the substance of pre-existing laws with provisions of the codes, for example, to introduce provisions to tackle serious crimes problems in the postconflict state.
		During the model codes consultation process, for example, many practitioners poined to the potential use of the model codes in a development context or in “crisis” or “fragile” states, in addition to in postconflict states.

	Model Transitional Codes for Post-Conflict Criminal Justice Project - Irish Centre for Human Rights (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In some conflict or post conflict environments, the law in force might have been that of a former dictatorial or oppressive regime and therefore might be politically objectionable to the local authorities in power or the population at large.
		Given the fact that there is no “one size fits all” model, it is unlikely that the codes could be used in their entirety but that the provisions used would require necessary adaptation to the particular context in which they were to apply.
		A roundtable discussion centering on the possible application and use of model codes in conflict and post conflict environments was co-hosted by the Asia Pacific Centre for Military Law and the Institute of Comparative and International Law at the University of Melbourne, Australia in March 2004.

	Theories of Deviance: Conflict Theories
		In his view, all societies are marked by the conflict of social classes, sometime overt, sometimes hidden, but always the major source of stability and change in society.
		But ultimately the growth of the criminal justice system, and its expense, becomes one of the factors precipitating a crisis in capitalism and a transition to socialism.
		The criminal justice system, by largely ignoring male violence against women in intimate relationships, helped to perpetuate a patriarchy that was at least as basic to American society as class or racial domination.

	Colombia: In search of a new model for conflict resolution
		The Betancur/FARC model of conflict resolution was characterized by a ‘broad agenda’ of social and political structural reforms and took its most concrete form in the La Uribe Accord in 1984.
		It was based on an acceptance by the Betancur administration of the ‘objective causes’ of the conflict such as social inequity and political exclusion, and recognition of the insurgencies as legitimate interlocutors in negotiations.
		Added to a synthesis of specific aspects of the two historical models, these could be the ingredients for a future, third model for conflict resolution, building upon the lessons of the past, but adjusting to the realities of the present and the future.

		In developing these reflections, we have consulted with Catholics who are involved in every aspect of the criminal justice system: prison chaplains, police officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, probation and parole officers, wardens, correctional officers, crime victims, offenders, families of both victims and offenders, and treatment personnel.
		Too often, the criminal justice system neglects the hurt and needs of victims or seeks to exploit their anger and pain to support punitive policies.

	SSRN-Model Codes for Criminal Justice and Peace Operations: Some Legal Issues by Bruce Oswald
		He argues that any changes to the domestic criminal law and procedure of a host state introduced by peacekeepers should only occur where it is necessary and reasonable to achieve an appropriate balance between maintaining security and ensuring that the administration of the local population takes account of local and accepted international standards.
		If there is a need to change the criminal justice system in a host state it is necessary to identify the legal basis for doing so.
		The author concludes that the most appropriate manner in which to implement changes to the domestic criminal law and procedure of a host state is to seek the consent of that state.

	Melville W. Fuller: A Model Chief Justice [Mackinac Center for Public Policy]
		The Fuller court, encompassing a parade of justices who came and went during Fuller’s 22 years as chief, was not perfectly consistent on all counts.
		When the justices found law to be in conflict with the Constitution, they usually sided with the latter, because liberty under the rule of law was their highest priority.
		The last Jacksonian Democrat to hold the highest office, Cleveland wanted a chief justice with an unblemished record of integrity who not only shared his limited-government philosophy, but also was a good business manager who could fix the backlog of cases at the high court, which was a full three years behind in its work.
