Attitudinal Model In Criminal Justice

In the judicial decision making model there are three steps. The first model is what is called the legal model. In this model, it goes on to explain that the Supreme Court justices make their rulings based off facts from the case, laws, and precedents from previous cases. The second model is known as the attitudinal model. In the attitudinal model justices have the opportunity to make decisions and interpret the constitution based off their conservative or liberal ways due to which type of ideology they might have. And lastly, the third and final model is strategic model. With this model justices are expected to make decisions strategically, always thinking about whether or not their idea will be approved by their colleagues and the public.
