Explanation:
Yes it does exist! It is a criminological term and means the ideology of those who seek a criminal justice system, which is rapid, efficient and untrammelled by red-tape, in which the punishment fits the crime.

Explanation:
I think you need to gloss this, as 'efficientist' has not made its way into English yet, though it may do.
You could also use "inverted commas" to suggest that so-called efficiency may end up not producing the desired results.
