Due Process
• According to the Lectric Law Library due process is, “the idea that laws and legal proceedings must be fair
and the Constitution guarantees that the government cannot take away a person's basic rights to 'life, liberty
or property, without due process of law” (Lectric, par. 1).
• Also according to Lectric Law Library, “the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the deprivation of liberty or
property without due process of law and the Sixth Amendment, which is applicable to the states through the
Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, see In re Oliver, 333 U.S. 257, 273-74 (1948), guarantees a
criminal defendant a fundamental right to be clearly informed of the nature and cause of the charges against
him” (Lectric, par. 1).
• Due process is a guaranteed right that each and every individual will be treated with fairness regardless of
race, religion, beliefs, height, weight, the crime in which they are accused of committing, and whether they
are poor or rich. Equal treatment and fairness is given to each individual under the Due Process Clause. Due
process is an extremely important part in the criminal justice system. If it were not for due process, I do not
believe there would be a purpose for criminal justice because justice will not have truly taken place.
According to the LLS.edu, “there are two Due Process Clauses in the Constitution: the Fifth Amendment
states: "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, and the
Fourteenth Amendment provides: "no state shall. deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law” (LLS, nd).
• “According to the NCVS, in 1997 juveniles under age 18 were involved in 27% of all serious violent
victimizations, including 14% of sexual assaults, 30% of robberies, and 27% of aggravated assaults” (OJJDP,
1997).
