DECISION MAKING MODELS IN CRIMINAL
JUSTICE
For criminal justice, decision-making requires more

than studying the rules and applying them to
individual cases. Decisions are based on discretion,
that is, the exercise of human judgement in order to
make decisions about alternative courses of action.
DECISION MAKING CHALLENGES FOR
CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS
Events of over-expose, which are characterized as

unpredictable, erratic, volatile and under conditions
of high stress, impair the capacity of a criminal
justice professional to make a reasonable, rational
decision. Criminal justice practitioners will
experience a lag period in their decision making
skills during this events.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING THE WRONG
DECISION
1. Loss of Life
2. Departmental or jurisdictional administrative
costs.
3. Negative media attention and public opinion.
4. Demotion on position and / or loss of job.
5. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), family
problems and other psycholocical concerns.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DECISION MAKING ON THE JOB
1. To increase the number of options, look at a

problem from multiple viewpoints and angles.
2. Assess the situation with a view to recognizing
threats and non threats seek to make rational
decisions about how to respond accordingly.
3. Visualize the way situations play out before they
act. Challenge assumptions about situation.
4. Seek support and advice from challenges in
circumsances that require it.
5. Make choices about the most important
information, and seek to commit it to memory.
6. Be mindful of and accept the feelings before
making a conscious move to make rational
decisions.
7. Practice verbal and non-verbal communication
skills with colleagues to communicate information
about how to respond to a situation.
FOUR STYLES OF DECISION-MAKING
1. DIRECTIVE DECISION MAKING

- usually a policy decision-maker sorts out the pros and cons
of a situation based on what they already know.
2. ANALYTIC DECISION-MAKING
- before taking action, strategic decision-makers analyze a lot
of details.
3. CONCEPTUAL DECISION-MAKING
- compared with the guideline or empirical approcahes, the
relational decision-making process takes a more

collaborative approach.
DECISION-MAKING MODELS
1. UNIVERSAL MODEL
- The findings obtained from one party are usually related to humans.
2. THE DISPOSITIONAL MODEL

- The adherents of the dispositional view recognize that decision-making
differences are cross-cultural and support the cause of cross-cultural
study.
3. DYNAMIC MODEL
- Adherents of this view often consider cross-cultural variations. They
view cultural knowledge not as monolithic construct that is continously
present, but as a collection of descrete knowledge that is operational as a

function of the situation.
ALWAYS REMEMBER
“MY DREAMS ARE WORTHLESS, MY

PLANS ARE DUST, UNLESS THEY ARE
COVERED WITH ACTIONS…
I WILL ACT NOW”
