the crime control approach is consistent with the following except:

• A. Criminals are the enemy
• B. Police officers are like soldiers in a war
• C. Police officers serve all the people
• D. Efficiency is a top priority

Answer: (C)

The crime control approach is about stopping crime quickly and efficiently, often with a warlike, pragmatic mindset. It treats criminals as the enemies and envisions police officers acting with a soldier-like focus on suppressing crime, keeping order, and achieving high arrest and conviction rates. Efficiency in handling cases is central to this model.

Serving all the people captures a public-service, rights-protective stance that emphasizes fairness, due process, and safeguarding individual rights for every citizen. That perspective isn’t the emphasis of crime control; it aligns more with a due-process or public-service view of policing. Therefore, this option doesn’t fit the crime control approach, making it the exception. The other statements—criminals as the enemy, police as soldiers in a war, and efficiency as the top priority—are all consistent with crime control.
