You should also include a discussion of the arrest/interrogation procedures of the local police, the court process, and any punishments you would be facing after committing an offense. You should conclude with your overall impression of the criminal justice system of the two countries. As you are ending with your impression of the research you have conducted, the conclusion (two or three paragraphs) may be written in first-person, opinion format.
