AC3.4 - Evaluate the effectiveness of agencies in achieving
social control

The Police:
o Work with the community keeping law and order.
o Expertise with specialist operations.
o Willingness to change to be more effective.
o Held to account by Police and Crime Commissioners.
o In 2017, almost 50% of cases were closed without a
suspect being identified.
o In 2017, the Home Office reported that crime had risen by
10%.
o Up to a fifth of all crimes reported go unrecorded
o Labelled 'institutionally racist' in the Macpherson report
following the Stephen Lawrence case.
o Condemned by the judge in the Colin Stagg case.
o Criticized following the puppy farm murder case.

The CPS:
o The CPS are effective in achieving social control as they
are responsible for bringing the prosecution to the court
by using the Full Code Test
o By bringing a case to the court enables the administration
of justice to take place, thus achieving social control when
offenders are put away
o They are ineffective in achieving social control due to their
lack of organization, which can lead to miscarriages in
justice
o They're underfunded which can lead to a lack of
preparation
Gildewell Report 1998:
o Suggests there are too many judge-ordered acquittals of
defendants, meaning the CPS are ineffective in gaining
social control.

The Judiciary:
o Many people argue that judges are too lenient with their
sentencing, which could lead them to being ineffective in
gaining social control
o Judges have been labelled as outdated and old, meaning
they can take biases
