International Crime Witness

Use the Internet to research criminal proceedings in one (1) of the six (6) model countries from: (Choose 1 Only)

• England: Appointed in magistrates’ courts, local committees are responsible for appointments; since 2006, in other courts the Judicial Appointments Commission appoints judges.
• Germany and France: Self-selected candidates undergo an extensive apprenticeship period and then face rigorous civil service examinations.
• China: Elected and appointed. The heads of the courts, called presidents, are elected by the corresponding people’s congresses while all other judges are appointed by the corresponding standing committee of the particular court.
• Japan: Self-selected and then promoted by merit. After passing a national-level judicial examina­tion, candidates train for two years at the Legal Research and Training Institute and then move up through the ranks based on merit.
• Saudi Arabia: Self-selected. Candidates must first qualify for this position and then go through a period of apprenticeship before being allowed to decide cases.
• United States: Usually elected on local and county levels, appointed on state and federal level. A combination method plan (Missouri Plan) is avail­able in some states.

Imagine you are traveling abroad in your chosen country when you witness a local national committing a violent assault. The criminal is arrested and charged by the police.

Upon returning to the United States, a professor in one of your criminal justice classes asks you to complete a written report on your experience.

Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:

1. Determine the pertinent demographic, social, political, and economic factors about your chosen country.
2. Examine the manner in which your chosen country’s criminal code would likely view the crime you witnessed. Provide a rationale for the response.
3. Choose two (2) individual rights that the United States grants criminal suspects, such as search and seizure, right to counsel, etc., and analyze the country’s perspective on each right. Provide support for the analysis.
4. Investigate the manner in which the police in your chosen country would likely treat the defendant. Provide justification for the response.
5. Classify the fundamental similarities and differences between the police culture in your chosen country compared to the United States.
6. Use at least four (4) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• This course requires use of new Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different from other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
