Answer:
If the criminal courts stopped using alternative methods of conflict resolution and began instead to use the formal criminal procedure for all types of crime or minor misdemeanor, what would happen would be a complete saturation of the judicial, prison and police systems in a short period of time.
Thus, if for each minor crime such as a traffic violation or a default on a loan, the appropriate judicial processes to prosecute an accused were activated, each of these situations would require the mobilization of judicial resources that today are reserved for crimes larger, such as robberies, murders, etc. Therefore, there would be a saturation of the judicial system, an increase in sentences that in turn would saturate the prison system and an increase in the duration of the trials, given the complete saturation of the courts.
