Assignment:
Select a country that has a criminal system different than the United States and do some research on how that particular county handles crime and criminals (i.e. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Nigeria, etc). Discuss how that country handles such matter and contrast it by discussing in detail how the United States would handle a similar matter both in terms of preliminary matters and in terms of sentencing and appeals.
You should use outside research, make sure that you properly cite your sources, and use examples as appropriate.
