DISCUSSION OF THE ISSUE OF WHETHER THE SYSTEMS APPROACH CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF CONGESTION, DELAY, AND RELATED SYSTEM DYSFUNCTIONS.

Abstract

THE METHODOLOGIES OF THE SYSTEMS APPROACH, BOTH TECHNOLOGICAL AND QUANTITATIVE, AND ITS BIASES ARE EXPLORED. THE IMPLICATIONS OF APPLYING THE SYSTEMS APPROACH, SUCH AS THE ENTRUSTING OF THE DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE ADJUDICATIVE APPARATUS TO A TECHNOLOGICAL ELITE, ARE EVALUATED. FINALLY, AN ASSESSMENT IS MADE OF VARIOUS MANAGEMENT SCIENCE APPLICATIONS AND OF THE APPROPRIATENESS OF GRAFTING THE GOAL OF EFFICIENT RESOURCE DEPLOYMENT ONTO CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROCEDURES, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF CONSTITUTIONAL DUE PROCESS GUARANTEES.
