Question

question 19 (mandatory) (1 point)
herbert packer likened the idealized criminal justice system to a(n)

a) assembly line.

b) sports team.

c) tangled bureaucracy.

d) obstacle course.

Explanation:

Herbert Packer, in his work on the criminal justice system, used the metaphor of an "obstacle course" for the idealized criminal justice system. He contrasted it with the "assembly - line" metaphor for the more routine, efficiency - oriented (and less idealized in terms of due process safeguards) actual operation in some cases. A sports team or tangled bureaucracy are not the metaphors he used for the idealized system. The obstacle - course metaphor emphasizes the series of checks, balances, and due - process requirements that are supposed to be in place in an ideal criminal justice system.

Answer:

D. obstacle course.
