With the above lesson topics in mind, compare and contrast The American Criminal Justice System with ANY other foreign criminal justice system (China, Japan, Great Britain, Iran, Korea, etc.).
Part of your paper MUST compare the prison system in the country you choose to the prison system in the United States.
ONE country must be used for the entire paper so make sure the country you select has enough substance to intelligently complete a five-page paper.
You MUST thoroughly address the above topics and have documented facts to support your positions.
You MAY pick other aspects of our justice system to compare, however the above topics must be addressed.
You MUST also state your thoughts on the strengths and pitfalls of the foreign system you chose.
You MUST discuss FACTS from two of the many cases we studied (Hernandez, Batman, OJ, Otto, etc.) to illustrate the “strengths and pitfalls” of our Criminal Justice system. Use one of these cases as a “what if” for the overall report. What if this happened in Iran (Korea, Japan, etc.). You may then compare and contrast each aspect of the case. (crime, arrest, court, prison)
This is your final exam. You must demonstrate full depth and knowledge of the subject. This is not an opinion piece, although, when appropriate, you may offer it to enhance your position. The paper needs to be based on established law and the factual reality of criminal justice. Your sources MUST be from legitimate and recognized media. The internet is fine, if it is FACT based and not opinion. AI is also fine but ONLY IF you document it according to MLA.
***** Please note that you will receive a zero if you plagiarize. This not only includes using someone else’s paper but also includes not citing your sources. All papers will be electronically checked for plagiarism. I cannot stress enough the importance of documenting your sources using MLA format. ******
